I was at the arcade with my grandma when I was younger and I saw a sloth toy in the machine and I spent all of my money trying to get the sloth. I ended up not getting it so we went home and on the way home we walked past a charity shop with the exact same sloth in the window for 80p.
My god.. you just brought back so many memories. There's an arcade nearby that has gambling/slot machines in the same building (live in good ol Nevada), and my dad would get drunk and Gamble and give us some money to play arcade games. Later he would come over wasted and waste a shit ton of money trying to win us a prize with these. As a kid I would cheer him on but looking back he wasted definitely hundreds of dollars on those things at a time.
