Hot Slut Of The Day!

HitClips, the iPod of the late 90s.

Sometime in the late 90s, McDonald’s introduced a plastic musical wonder to the world called HitClips. Just like most of the crap McDonald’s sells, HitClips were pretty cheap, total shit quality and kind of addictive. (Side note: But not AS addicted as that annoying ass Monopoly game. I still find those dumb Monopoly pieces everywhere. I find them in the ashtray in people’s cars, under sofa seats and I’m pretty sure I have farted one out at least twice. They are worse than roaches.)

HitClips were tiny plastic cartridges and to play them you shoved them in a tiny plastic player. The sound quality was damn awful, but I didn’t care, because I was too busy being wowed by the magic of music coming out of a tiny plastic boom box. Seriously, a warped cassette tape playing on a boom box with low batteries sounded better than HitClips. HitClips didn’t even play the whole song either. They only played a minute of it or so. Just when you were getting into it, it would stop playing. It was like getting blue balls of the ears. But then again, most of my HitClips were Brit Brit songs, so maybe they were doing me a favor?

Anyway, HitClips! Gone but not (totally) forgotten!
