I grew up in Ozone Park NY.  We played this  game skully. You used bottle caps and you melted wax, And added it  inside the cap to give it some weight. You played it in the street. you caulk it out on the street. kinda like pool. You flicked the bottle cap with your finger.

Now they were fun!

Until you managed to land the rocket on someone's roof, never to be seen again.

(All the roofs in the part of Mt Airy where I grew up were flat)

Or you shoot your brother in the Adam's apple with one and dad kicks your ass and takes it away. Ahhhhhh the good old days

Played it on Neptune Ave in Jersey City all summer.  One or two of the older kids painted the board on the street.  We just called it “Bottle caps”.

Yup, turned your skin orange.  Haven’t seen it since the 70’s.

The FDA considers it a bit toxic.  Although it contains no chromium, it does contain mercury atoms.

Umm..... what was funny about this?  I’m not seeing it.....

Nevermind.....  its a memory lane thing.
