Nina Kalinina<p>Turkish-made Turbo chewing gum has a small piece of paper under the wrapper, with an image of a car (or sometimes a bike or a plane) in it. Those were collectibles, and more importantly, it was possible to sell them, or, with skill and luck, gamble on them and increase your collection. The game was like that: two parties would put the collectible cards (more like bits if paper than cards, really) on a flat surface, and then, in turns, would SLAP the cards with their palms to make the cards fly. If one managed to capsize an opponent's card, they would claim the ownership. There are 1620 different cards, says the internet.</p><p>I kid you not, I have seen Turbo gum just the other day in a Polish shop in my town. I had no idea those were still a thing.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/memoirs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memoirs</span></a></p>
Nina Kalinina<p>When I was a kid, a very reliable way of making a bit of side income around my hometown was collecting bottles. You'd walk around the streets, lurking for improperly disposed bottles, ideally bear bottles that were called Cheburashka, and picking them into a bag. Then you would bring them home, wash and dry. The bottles had to be shining clean (no leftover glue) and pristine (no cracks). It is hard to find the exact details, but it seems one empty bottle would cost about $0.02. That was enough to buy Turbo chewing gum. Ten bottles would give you a small loaf of bread or a highly desirable and non-recyclable plastic bottle of Sprite. Apparently, collecting bottles was common for decades in the late USSR and early post-USSR.<br><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/memoirs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memoirs</span></a></p>
Franke James<p>I got started writing <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/memoirs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>memoirs</span></a> in 2007. My first story was "A Green Winter: Will Global Warming Be Good for Canada?"</p><p>The story begins at a cocktail party, where I asked Freakonomics author Steven Levitt how he would solve global warming.<br> <br>Levitt quipped, “Why would you worry about it? Global Warming will be good for Canada. Look how much more of the country will be populated if it’s warmer!”</p><p>Watch the animated video.<br><a href="https://vimeo.com/108022838" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">vimeo.com/108022838</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/climatecrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climatecrisis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/FrankeJames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FrankeJames</span></a></p>
