Mini Thins, the Gas Station Speed of Oklahoma Teens in the 90s

I don’t smoke, I don’t drink and I don’t do drugs. I used to be ashamed to admit that, but I’m 42 now and really don’t care what people think anymore.

But that’s not to say I haven’t done a few of those things in my past. Though my drug use has been practically nil—chances are if I ever bragged about doing drugs, I was probably lying to earn cool points with whoever I was with—but there was a small period of time where I downed the occasional bottle of Mini Thins, mostly as a speed-driven attempt to lose weight in the 90s.
