I am not troubled by the peanut deficit, as I was always in it for the caramel covered popcorn. For years I've thrown my candy-coated peanuts to the squirrels so that they will get cavities, their teeth will fall out and they will die. I consider it a public service.

I agree on the toys. I got a "pencil topper" and some thing with really crappy folding instructions that was supposed to make a mouth for a ducky on one side and a moo cow on the other. I didn't get it. I want the compass and the dragonfly viewers back! Even those little packs of food dye tattoos and the little goofy notepads were better than the current version. And whatever happened to the fortunes on the toy packet?
