Speaking Of Crumb
I admit I'm not exactly a big KISS fan. But I do want a bag of these, $6.00 a pop be damned.
They can go on the shelf with the Devil Girl Choco-Bar I still have that I bought at the Naro concession stand when the movie Crumb was playing back in 1991.
Yes, chocolate still intact. I wonder how much that would go for on eBay these days?

I bought one of those when I went to see Crumb when it played at Vassar College's theatre back in the day...I ate the chocolate...but did save the wrapper!
Where are they selling those Kiss M&M's? I know you can get personalized ones...I was actually thinking of getting my dad a pack with "It's a Wonderful Life" Characters for Xmas as he's a fanatic...6 bucks seems a steal...Wasn't that Crumb bar like $5 bucks? I remember it being some pricey candy
I think I remember that Crumb bar being pretty damn expensive, but figuring it would be worth it. And this was years before even the invention of ebay! Did you ever sell your wrapper?
I don't think so...and Crumb is always a hot commodity on Ebay (my best crumb deal ever - was on vacation in Cape Cod and went to a used book store in Provincetown and found an issue of Scanlan's from 1969 or 1970 with a crumb cover in a box of mags. Paid a buck or two and sold it for $50...That was WAY back in my earliest days of ebay, I wish I had a scanner then, I think of all the cool stuff that's passed through my ebay selling hands and it would have been cool to keep a little scanned museum - although I would imagine that Scanlan's cover is easy to find on a Crumb webstite.)
But back to the candy bar...I think at the time I looked it up on ebay to see if any had sold and this was years after the movie (I started selling on ebay near the end of '97 and the movie came out around 5 years earlier I think) and there were not only wrappers, but people had sealed boxes of uneaten crumb bars...and the box that 36 come in is way cooler than just the wrapper...so I don't think I sold it then.
It reminded me of when one time when I got a ton of old, but not rare beer cans in and was looking them up. I looked up Billy Beer which was say 30 years old and there were TONS of opened cans, 6-packs and CASES of the stuff. EVERYONE saved it and it's just worthless.
I think of the poor kid in the 80's who found his dad's stash of Billy beer and snuck some and got the belt when pops came home yelling "Those are collectible! You just drank away your college tuition!"
anyhoo...back to voodoo...talk to you soon melp!
