    Before my time, but we used to mob the milk truck until the driver chipped of pieces of ice for us to eat.

    edit: I remember in the winter going out to the metal box he put the jars in and seeing the cream standing proudly on a column of frozen milk that had forced the cardboard circle off the top.

    Oh, they were called 'pogs', we had to bring them to school in the first grade. Used them to draw circles to write numbers or letters in with fat pencils, manual dexterity training. Fond memory.

    You can still get it in a lot of sportsman stores. I keep a small cloth sack of them by the bed. It makes a really good night cap.

    You'd think you'd get stranger looks out of "It's a free country."
