My personal favorite from that ad is the cement covered weight set. Those benches were absolute junk, unstable feeling and easy to miss the re-re-rack of the barbell. That said, bench notwithstanding, the kit was good as a starter kit to see if you liked lifting weights at all, and it seemed like everyone in the neighborhood had one.

I remember Caldor's well. It was the only department store in the area and the only place hiring for part-time jobs back then in the early '90s. It was also the first place I ever applied for a job, and I got rejected because I had no "work experience."

My friends and I would find these weights in the trash and we would bring them to my basement and they would often mess around with them before D&D sessions. Before I moved out my Mom made me go down and carry them all out to be collected by the town. I had to make over 2 dozen trips to get them all to the curb.

LMAO - You guys had to be the buffest D&D group in the tri-state area! 💪
