Epic Win: Mouse Trap

Apr. 17, 2009

once upon a win

The Wikipedia article for Mouse Trap talks about some sort of game play involved in Mouse Trap, but we’re just not buying. All we remember was putting together all the little pieces and setting off the trap over and over again. Then we lost all the pieces and the metal balls became a projectile.

Remember back in the day when Eddie Murphy was actually funny? This is where it all started – Beverly Hills Cop. Not to mention we also got Judge Reinhold and Bronson Pinchot (Cousin Balki) out of the deal.

To top it all off, who didn’t have the Axel Foley theme song as their ringtone on their Nokia 5110?

If your parents sent you to school in the 80’s with the standard orange #2 pencils, your only salvation was the rubber triangular pencil grips. The combination of cool graphics pencils and triangle pencil grips propelled you to stardom. The only combination more awesome than any of these was the punk-rock kid who had triangle pencil grips and made intricate carvings into the #2 pencils his parents bought him using a pocket knife or a pen. Which kid were you?

Submitted by Kim G

Epic win for anything Play-Doh related! Double win for having such a long-lasting name (32 years and counting) even though the name has become at least slightly inappropriate.
