You'll never guess what I just bought at a local quickie store
I'll give you some 4 clues .

1) Originally sold in the Eighties
2) They were quickly censored as innappropriate for kids
and stopped being sold .
3)Come with 4 in a pack with a stick of gum
4) They made fun of a certain type Doll that was super popular
for a few years in the eighties .

Okay Generation Xers what did I just buy ?
