Anybody who has had a pixy stick can attest to the story about to be unveiled. Alright let me take you back to elementary school. Maybe fifth grade, maybe fourth somewhere in that time frame. I was an active young kid to say the least, who wasn’t. I’m going trick or treating and God knows what my mother let me wear. So I’m out running around with my friends and one of them gets what looks like a stick of power. I ask him what he got. He tells me has gotten the infamous Pixy Stick. My first reaction is Pixies. The little fairies. And he says to me not Pixies, Pixy. Kind of like Pixy Dust. Ah, ha. So he tears open the top tells us to open our mouths. He pours a little in and says what do you think? Give it about five seconds and you feel like a Pixy has just slapped you in the face with Pixy Dust. You are flying around the town at the speed of light. This was the most amazing thing I had ever tried. There we were, all of my friends thinking we were flying like little Pixy Fairies. When I get home my mom looks at my eyes rolling around in my head ike a Disney cartoon character and asks what I had. Nothing I said. Didn’t fool mom. From there on out she inspected the candy I had gotten that night. Probly a good thing.

Everyone and their mother has had a Pixy Stick. Even the older folks who say they don’t like sugar, has had a Pixy Stick. It’s flavored powder put in a little stick. That’s the concept but the idea is that it’s a little pixy wand filed with pixy dust. At least that’s what we thought growing up. The bad part is that when we had pixy stick fights we would get save up as many as we could and have a pixy stick war! We would tear open the tops of countless amounts of pixy sticks and throw them all other one another. Then out came the parents to ruin the fun we were having. But not before we would turn on them. Pixy dust was everywhere. All over us, our friends, our parents, the front yard the house from trying to clean it off. Mom wasn’t mad so much as not happy about the ants that would follow the next morning. In short these little guys are much more fun than meets the eye. It’s a Pixy Stick. How much more fun could it get.
