I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We did this too. It was a bitch getting the rubber band in their waist line back on.
Yep. I remember this. My friend had a well organized tackle box full of arms and legs just ready to customize.

I also had several Dr. Dreadful sets. You could make candy in the shape of zombie brains and skeletons and other spooky / gross things. It all tasted like chemicals but I used to love it
