I got this thing for a birthday I believe. It may have been my 4th or 5th... I remember making snow cones with my mother and they were amazing. Eventually, we'd run out of the syrup that made this a snow cone and not just snow... (believe it or not, it doesn't require a cone to make that transition). "We can't make any, we're out of Za'Rex," she said.
We never did buy any more. That was the one and only bottle of ZaRex we ever had, and my Snoopy Sno Cone machine went the way of the dinosaurs. I can honestly say I have no had a discussion about ZaRex, and probably haven't even said the word since then, over 25 years ago, amd still, that statement stuck in my head.I am proof positive that a kid can memorize things if it's something they want.
Ouch, childhood wounds can be so difficult to heal. I have never heard of ZaRex and doubt I'll ever see the word again. Congratulations! Sue@JumpingAground (Alliteration & drabbles)

Aw... Zapped of the zestful exuberance. At least you were able to find your inner Zen about it.

ReplyDeleteI wanted one of those so bad as a kid.. never got it though
ReplyDeleteHappy Z day!
We had one of those! It was the best thing ever! I'm sure we ran out of ZaRex too, but I think my mom substituted with punch or something.
