The most interesting product was a tackle box stuffed (...) (19 years ago, 21-Mar-06, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I have a couple of these in brown that I bought at a WalMart (in Maryland) a couple years ago. I think the original price was $2 and they were on clearance for .25 or .50.

(...) Holy moley! Where did you see these? In Canadialand? Which province? And which dollar store (since there are so many variations)? And do you really spell it "Doller" up there?
