Trapper Keepers!

#1 Post by AlphaKilo470 » Mon Feb 19, 2007 10:52 pm

I was at a thrift store looking for junk today and found a near mint condition Trapper Keeper that appeared to have been unused since sometime in the early 90s. The side pocket inside had some monopoloy money in it and one of the three included folders had a The New Kids on The Block scrapbook and poster. When I used this thing in class tonight for storing my notes, it turned into a real conversation piece.

Yeah, I wasn't much into any type of music (except Michael Jackson) back then (because I was busy occupying myself with more important things like Math Blaster on an Apple IIe and Super Mario on my SNES but I still thought those contents were noteworthy.

Oh yeah, the thrift store that I bought the Trapper from was a relic in itself. The building used to be an A&P supermarket that was originally a Big Star and still had the 80s/early 90s style interior and color scheme that was common on Big Star supermarkets in the 80s and early 90s. The reason this means anything is because here (and probably most other parts of the U.S. saw A&P pull out and forfeit all relevance to the supermarket market back in the late 90s).
