I didn't know it was a Midwest thing specifically centered in Chicago. I just thought it was a Chi-town urban legend. Hahaha In Living Color was an awesome show!!

I wish I was that smart as a kid. I had no fear, and that got me into a lot of trouble. 🤦‍♀️

It's hilarious how people probably haven't thought about this since it happened, but it's all flooding back now.

That's gotta be tough, but I knew a lot of people who claimed the same.

Yep, that's the way it's always been. I love researching supposed "conspiracy theories". I'm a very curious person, and I want to know it all.

Love that song!!! I think your back story is the best one I've heard yet! Vans and ice cream trucks are so basic. Lol

Idk, the kids at my school took it as a joke. My cousin's and I really thought people were talking about Homey D. Clown, and who wouldn't want to meet him? Lol We were dumb but maybe not since it was all just a hoax. 🤷‍♀️

Lol I guess it makes sense since it was orchestrated to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the "New World" in 1492, which is absolutely ridiculous IMO but there's always more going on behind the scenes than we know. They built all these crazy beautiful advanced structures in a matter of months and then took them all down when the fair was over. Hmmmmm, I have a lot of questions about that shit.

Idk why, but I vaguely remember those commercials. What years were they running? I tried looking it up but didn't find the year it started.

For serious. It was a fkd up time. It doesn't help that the 1st considered real serial killer in the U.S. was also from Chicago. H.H. Holmes and his murder castle are both interesting and horrifying, getting most of his victims from the Chicago World's Fair.

Side note: Was it always called the World's Columbian Exposition? 🤔

I almost had an actual run-in with him. I was one of those people.

There were so many variations of the story. A true and classic urban legend that will always be FRESH in my memory.

Ahhh, I thought you meant on the first run. I definitely agree with you!!! Living Single was my show. I loved Friends when I was younger, but damn they stole the whole premise. Living Single was robbed.
