Those anvils and pianos aren't cheap!

Actually I think it was something like Acme Widget Company. Widgets were huge in the 90s. The company names didn't give an indication as to what they sold.

In high school (late 90s) I did have a class that covered personal finances... sort of. We were given a fake checkbook and taught how to write a check. But the checks weren't for typical bills like rent, utilities, phone, cable, etc. They were made out to fake companies like Acme with crazy dollar amounts. I think the smallest check I wrote was in the $1,000-2,000 range. The largest was something like $100,000-200,000! I had so many questions. Like what the heck am I buying? And where did I get all this money?

We had to take a personal economics class. They made it part of the curriculum my senior year of high school and allowed seniors to test out if they could. By that time, I had taken two years of accounting classes and one semester of general business management, so I was able to pass the test easily. I think the class is a good idea.

It was simple, Acme was and early version of Amazon and only sold to Wile E. Coyote. (genius) Acme Widget was a separate company the was the sole distributor of Widgets, of course.

Acme was a store in New Jersey and when I was very little I would literally look for anvils, a consistent disappointment.
