I loved shopping with my Mom when I was a little girl. Not for the ride in the cart or the ability to “accidentally” grab a box of Cookie Crisp. Oh no. It was the hope that I could get a ride on one of these sweet treats.
Of course the most popular were the ponies and horses—a little flirt reminder of merry go rounds.

Cars are so much fun. Which to chose? Race car or race car with Spiderman?

But why limit your transportation to earth when you could blast off from Safeway in one of these beauties.

And then just some odd choices.
Hmmm… I never would have thought about taking a ride on Papa Smurf.
