$14.99 in 1979? Christ. You could just about buy a house for that.

Checks out, that's about what a house cost in 1979.

It's in a protective bag, must be a vintage-for-sale thing. Original price was $1.95, $8.53 today.

Iirc that was the back page of a MAD Magazine. They used to publish tons of fake magazine covers like this so you could flip the last page around and make it look like a real magazine.

That's amazing, I love that! That's the spirit of chaos that needs to make a comeback lol.

I wish this was a real thing I could buy my mum for Xmas. I love her dearly but her parenting style was hilariously unique.
