Erasers. Really any school supplies especially the minty flavored paste.
(CD have you tried Prosecco? a sweet Italian sparkling wine, YUM!)
Yes, I always have Prosecco on NYE, although not all of them are sweet. I prefer a little drier Prosecco.

I like most foods. There really is very little I don't like.
- Sea Urchin. Weird texture with a fishy flavor. I've tried it twice. It isn't something I would classify as a food "everyone else likes," though.
- Caviar, although I don't dismiss all of it. I once went to a caviar tasting in Las Vegas to see if maybe there was something I was missing. I had a couple that I thought were okay. But I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
- Single Malt Scotch. I've tried it and tried it, and I just don't like it. I can understand why some people would, because there is something interesting about it. But it's just not my thing.
- Budget Wine (think "two buck Chuck" or Yellow Tail). I'm not as much of a wine snob as you might think. I like almost anything that's well made. But some of the budget brands just taste taste to me like wine that's been open for a week, even when you've just opened it.
- Tequila. Nope. Won't drink it, even if mixed with something else.
I would agree with all but tequila, and at one time I'd have agreed there too. I've changed my view on that one recently. When anyone celebrates a birthday or other occasion at the local watering hole, a shot of tequila is often obligatory. When they break out the Patron, I find that it's not bad. I don't even do the salt and lime with it - it goes down smoothly with no bite. I was pleasantly surprised.
