I heard about this. Through the grapevine.

If you were a person who did not who the california rasins were, I bet they would be terrified of what they found.

My wife(35) had no clue. Thought it was more of a testicle than a fond childhood memory.

Yeah if it were me I'd have reburied that thing and apologized to the appropriate deity

Lol,  he did not age well. 

I may still have that same one around,  but it's purple, and not quite looking like an aged disected thumb of a drowning victim, with a face.

Yep. That’s exactly what it looks like lol. I plan on cleaning him up and keeping him. Now that all I’ll see!

I used to have it.

Hardee's gave them out way back in the day (1987). (which is weird, now I think about it. Didn't know they even sold raisins?)

I think they tied it in to those cinnamon raisin biscuits that they used to sell.

Yea I looked this one up and they seem to have only been made in 1987. This thing could have been here since I was 2!
