Sandy the Pony

Sandy

I was grocery shopping at Meijer while at home in Michigan, and I spotted something that brought me back to my childhood. The one cent pony ride at the checkout of every Meijer store made the otherwise boring task of going grocery shopping worth all the waiting and coupon sorting that had had to come first. it might be hard to believe, but trust me, it makes perfectly sound sense to a 5 year old brain. Even more than twenty years later I still felt a pang of excitement when I saw it. "Sandy" looks exactly the same as he did in 1982. And it made me smile to see that it still only costs a penny to ride. Such joy for so little. Thanks Meijer for the memories!
