<p>Holy shit!&nbsp; I'd forgotten all about that! </p><p>My doctor had the same thing when I was a kid, and it always seemed like the coolest thing in the world to be able to dig through all the crappy toys and get whatever you wanted. &nbsp; Like you said, it was all junk, but to a kid it felt like a mini Christmas morning.&nbsp; </p><p>My favorite was always one of those plastic army men with the parachute on his back.&nbsp; Even though they never worked all that well I'd always go for it. &nbsp;</p><p><img border="0" src="http://www.airshow.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/ORparasol.jpg" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good call, Blackbird.&nbsp;</p>

My dentist had a little room behind the receptionist desk too....unfortunately, most of the kids came out of there crying....I avoided it!!!!<br />

My dentist used to have one, It was always great you go home with a toy, and a toothbrush.<br />

Damn. My dentist sucked. All I ever got was sugar free gum. He was an ass. Everyone hated him.

<p>can't remember getting anything as a kid. as an adukt i enjoy the free floss, toothbrush, and sometimes a small tube of toothpaste. i say &quot;free&quot; but i guess you or your insurance company are paying for it somehow...</p><p>the kids dentist growing up had the treasure drawer. the item they liked most were the tattoos</p>

<p><font size="2">Alls we got were plastic rings.</font></p><p><font size="2">That's all any dentist gave away (and sometimes they'd forget).</font></p><p><font size="2">Then in eighth grade, the solid ones with no design that looked like the top lip of a coke bottle suddenly were &quot;in&quot; for a semester or two....</font></p><p><font size="2" /></p>

<p>I was acyually thinking that it was gonna be about those dentist prizes but wouldn't at all have been disappointed if it was about boobs.</p><p>By the way today's Sunday so that means TopHeavy.com should be updated ( stay w/ the Slim pics ).</p>

My dentist had a drawer that was like a treasure chest. It kinda acted like a carnival prize booth. Cleanings you could choose from one level and then cavities you could choose from a higher level. I never had a root canal I guess then you get like a live animal or something really good.
