Milky The Marvelous Milking Cow



Milky, the Marvelous Milking Cow. It was cute and weird at the same time.
Growing up in Riverside, there was very little to do, other than play with your big plastic cow that mooed and gave fake milk.

That... and many, many games of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Super Elastic Bubble Plastic

Instructions: Squeeze small ball of goo into your palm. Hold the small straw to your mouth and attach ball of goo at opposite end. Blow into a colorful plastic bubble.

The fumes from this were fantastic.
