The story · 1985

The story of Sizzle Sheets

Kids traced cartoons onto Sizzle Sheets, cut them out, and watched through the oven window as they curled like potato chips before flattening into tiny hard keepsakes. Parents supervised nervously. Most creations became keychains or got stuck to the cookie sheet forever. The magic of shrinking never once wore off.

Fun fact

Every piece shrank to about one third its size, and every kid forgot that and drew something too small.
