The story · 1983

The story of Tiny Shovel Snackers

Tiny Shovel Snackers gave you crackers, a well of cheese spread and a neon green plastic shovel, which meant you were in charge. You were supposed to scoop a little onto each cracker. Instead everyone licked the cheese straight off the shovel, ran out halfway, and ate the last six crackers plain. Every single time.

Fun fact

The little green shovels were saved and reused for ant farm digging, dollhouse gardening and emergency bookmarks.
