putting milk in those uh. tablets. you put them in water, they fizz and become a fizzy sugar drink. they curdled the milk.
using a wine cork puller thing to carve holes in chocolate bars before eating them.
having serious kindergarten arguments about whether to mix the toppings into the semolina pudding or not (i am team mix and i have always been, and i truly believe this was my first introduction to the concept of heresy).

remembered more:

we once snorted those fizzy drink tablets in math class. they fizzed in our nose. it was funny.
using a tv that had no remote
no seatbelts in the back

We used to snort Pixie Stix, which were just straws filled with sour, flavored sugar. Really surprised we didn't fuck up our sinuses doing that or causing nosebleeds.

Those little paper jobbies that you whip at the ground and they go "snap!"

That makes me think of those microwavable candy molds that made what I guess were dyed white chocolate.
