What abo0ut the nazi history?
& what about the story that no self respecting nazi would call himself one since it was a derogatory nickname. Have wondered if teh Trump pronunciation wasn't closer to the original derivation than the more commonly heard one.

XP sorry that was about Volkswagen not spinners.
Fanta also has history with the Nazi regime. Coca cola not wanting to sell a product so closely identified with themselves in the regime.

no, they couldn't get the materials to make coca-cola due to trade embargo so they came up with fanta

I still feel like LED colored lights should cost, like, $20 a piece of something - THEY'RE JUST THAT SHINY AND FASCINATING TO ME.
At the Scout Fair last fall, this lady cut open a cardboard box that was just stuffed those LED foam sticks and started handing them out to the kids, sometimes two at a time. I thought, Good Lord, what kind of budget does this place have? But then I got home and saw that you can <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Promotional-Party-Sticks-Stick-Baton/dp/B01G6RSCJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495632790&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=led%2Bfoam%2Bstick&th=1">buy 'em for 79ยข a piece</a>. The actual manufacturing cost is probably something like 14ยข.
The boy got mad the other night and ripped the light out of his foam stick (which was still working six months later). He threw it in the yard while I was getting in the car. When we got home, the light show was still in full effect, like a rave for ants in the rock garden. I stood there in the night, thinking about how my grandmother used to think a GameBoy cost close to $400.

The moisture on my glass of gin was warm. I crouched down in the driveway for a few minutes and closed my eyes. When I opened them, my son was standing behind the porch railing in the electric light, looking at me and wondering what it was he had done.

I've never owned a car, but I do hire them a lot and amazingly I've never known until today that there is often a little arrow on the fuel gauge on the dashboard indicating which side the petrol cap is on! This would have saved me loads of messing about at petrol stations over the years.
