Robitussin (tussin) fixed everything. Kinda like Windex

Run out of tussin, put some water in it and shake it up, MO TUSSIN! -Chris Rock

Had to look on wikipedia..........

"Sugar may be added before water dilution, which is done mostly with ouzo from Southern Greece.
The final ABV is usually between 37.5 and 50 percent; the minimum allowed is 37.5 percent."

Your dad wasn't messin around.

No he wasn't and he meant well!
You can substitute bourbon or scotch whisky if you ain't got no Ouzo around.
Just a sip or two! For god sakes, he's only a kid.
That'll fix anything Windex cant!

I used to love this "racing" game!

And I still have this from when I was a kid and almost everything in this pic, packed in a box in my shed. My kids played with it when they were little too. Hoping to save it for the grandkids......a long time from now!

I'd say @ least 10. You could be 100' away from asphalt but those suckers would find concrete, asphalt or even the roof & shatter every stinking time!!
