I have a deep love for pizza, a sentiment many would likely echo since it's such a universally adored food, almost as essential as air. During my pizza-loving days, I had a special drawer in my bedroom where I diligently collected various pizza coupons that I'd cut out from pizza boxes. You might wonder how a young kid managed to amass such a collection. Well, the answer was simple: I'd find them on pizza boxes left in front of people's houses when they tossed them out. Strangely, people often neglected these coupons.

Armed with my trusty pocket knife, I could collect seven or eight coupons a week, and during meatless Friday months, I could easily double that count. This meant I could enjoy free pizza almost every other week, not just for myself, but also with my friends. It truly felt like a golden era of pizza, a memory that still crosses my mind whenever I'm hit by hunger pangs, like right now.

I've held onto a bunch of these coupons, relics from pizza places that no longer exist. Even though they might lack any "cash value" today, they hold significant sentimental value for me.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
