Retsy Series 1 · Card 0282 · 80-FSH
Twenty-five cents of pure swagger.
A chunky fake gold rope necklace from the gumball machine that turned your neck green by lunchtime.
The story · 1988
Somewhere between the bouncy balls and the sticky hands, the gumball machine occasionally dropped a thick golden rope chain in a plastic bubble. It weighed almost nothing and shone like treasure. By lunch it had left a faint green ring around your neck, which owners proudly called proof it was real.
Kids twisted the capsule open so fast that the chain usually shot across the grocery store floor.
