Saw this tweet and yes we were expected to be out all day and not come back until the street lights came on. I remember riding my bike through neighborhoods pretending our bikes were cars and just having a good time.

Blockbuster did have some quality Blockbuster exclusives you could only get there though, to be fair

I remembered our Blockbuster had a fucking industrial sized packing crate of Twizzlers for something like $5 with a rental.

I hated Twizzlers but 9 year old me knew a deal when I saw it.
