At Bob's Behest
So, the top 5 things you could get at Chuck E. Cheese's through tickets.
I didn't make it to Chuck E. Cheese's nearly enough as a kid, so I can't easily remember. Besides, when I did, I was all about the Ninja Turtles arcade game. But, here's the shindig such as I can remember.
Number 5:
Spider Rings. They hurt the crap out of your fingers because they were crummy plastic, and you couldn't really close your hand without it scratching you a little bit, but man, you looked like a supervillain. You could probably live in a sweet tree-fort with Dr. Claw and Shredder, and you'd be awesome.
Number 4:
The obligatory thing you'd never have enough tickets to win. I remember seeing a Terminator bust, a bike or two, some stereos, and other ridiculously awesome looking stuff that would cost you ages in tokens to earn. Ages that would take away from playing as Leonardo on Ninja Turtles and fighting the awesome turtle killing robots.
Number 3:
Vampire teeth. Everybody loves vampire teeth. They suck to wear, but you look like a vampire! A vampire, man! Der Nosferatu, but you didn't know that when you were at Chuck E. Cheese's, because you were busy playing the sweet Ninja Turtles game.
Number 2:
Anything glow-in-the-dark. You had a shiny green/white thing going whenever it was dark. They wouldn't ever really work unless you held them straight up to the light for about three years. And I mean, now I can say all this business about quantum yields and phosphorescence and lifetimes, but it's still glow-in-the-dark! And that's AWESOME.
And Number 1!
The yo-yo. You could run around with a yo-yo trying to do mad tricks, because they'd send those cool people to your school who were on the yo-yo team, which was clearly where all the money really is. And then the string would get tangled, but you'd still have a sweet yo-yo. And if you were Will, it probably had spikes and you used it to fight crime, like that nefarious character playing the Ninja Turtles game with the glow-in-the-dark spider ring and vampire teeth.
