The Trapper Keeper

Just out of curiosity I decided to see if they still manufacture Trapper Keepers. To my surprise, Amazon has a pretty wide selection. I briefly considered ordering one, but then upon closer inspection I realized that Trapper Keepers are not, in fact, all that and a bag of chips, they are merely crumbs at the bottom of the bag.

All they really are is a binder with a velcro (or magnet, in the 21st century) flap.

The technical details:

* Customizable cover.
* 2 interior storage pockets.
* 5 tab dividers.
* 1.5" binder.
* Magnetic closure.

They even look corporate now!



Where are the prints? The Transformers and Ninja Turtles? The Lisa Frank animals? Can't I get some Sanrio?

Really? I remember Trapper Keepers as sooooo cool! I could create the same effect with a rubber band :(

I guess this is just another example of how fuzzy memories can be.
