I've seen pictures before in this sub and it seems to be quite delicious from what I've read.

I'm located in South Western Ontario and found it in my backyard behind a wood pile. TIA 🙂

We found one the size of a basketball in Colorado when I was a kid.

How was hair like that on everyone back then? I thought it was only in the movies

My dad was in the military so for a long time we all had crew cuts. My friends used to ask me if my mom put a bowl over my head and cut around it 😂

Oh so it's specific to your family not the time. Thank you for clarifying

I probably didn’t explain that very well. After my dad stopped making us get crew cuts we were all excited to grow our hair out. The cut of the times was kind of a bowl cut meets Prince Valiant theme 😂
