These things used to be EVERYWHERE. Businesses used to brand them and pass them out like business cards.

Milk money?

Edit: oh, like lunch money? I don't think I've heard to that referred to as milk money before if that's the case.

I've literally never seen one before. What country and decade are these from?

[–] blueskiesoc 2 points 1 year ago

USA for sure. I had one as a kid. It would have been about 1974 that I specifically remember another kid having one and knowing I wanted one too. We were in a gymnasium playing that game that involved all of the kids holding onto a big parachute and making it go up and down and jumping underneath it when it came back down. If you're in the US, you should know that game. It was a good day.

We used to make those in shop class.

How? Not joking. They're were molded one piece rubber. Your shop must've been cool.
