    No.

    Those are from WAY before PlayStation and XBox. More than fifty years earlier, in fact.

    They are in fact from World War II. Food rationing tokens from the Office of Price Administration. There were red points and blue points. Both are common, but the blue ones are a tiny bit scarcer.

    PS- @Salvador Villalobos - you seem to make an awful lot of incorrect assumptions about stuff, and your so-called "true facts" never seem to actually be true. But at least this time, the items you posted are actually better than what you assumed them to be, for a change. Their history is longer than you assumed.

    Yes, these are World War II ration tokens. They also came in blue. Some people collect them by the letters that appear on either side of the “1.” A couple of those combinations are quite scarce although I can’t tell which ones. My knowledge in this area is limited to what you just read.

    The world didn't exist for him before 2005 . . . .

    WWII was fought by the Germans and Meads against the Babylonians . . . .

    I'm guessing that he knows exactly what these are from his statement, " . . . true facts the other color is for the meat."

    That line made me wonder, too, but since it was accompanied by gibberish, who knows.

    he knows, and he (or she) is just exercising dry humor, i think.
    the other color, though, was not for meat....the red was for meat, iirc.
    the gibberish, is clue language. just a hint about ww2. super mario brothers (italy/germany), cobra (japan/india....and also military operations) and mappy (ww).

    i know a person that riddle talks like this constantly. very educated math guy, worked for army map service for entire career.

    the salvador posts grow on me. i am enjoying the challenge of what does it mean. a couple are sort of satirically funny, if not taken seriously.

    we are all different. no big deal.

    I remember my Grandfather telling me about not having enough tokens to buy meat legally so he got a steak on the black market.When he got home he was so afraid one of the neighbors would smell the steak cooking that he took it out to the back yard and buried it.

    Ah. Interesting. Chains being pulled, then? That explains a bit.

    (Still scratching my head over a lot of it, though...)

    If PlayStation and Xbox are back in the day what on earth do you call Atari?

    And those are World War II ration tokens, not gaming tokens.

    I think he is doing his BEST to "channel" his inner great-grandson . . . . . . repeating what he hears from the current grade skool aged generation.

    Poor guy really has no life if trolling us is his primary source of entertainment.

    Man, I mean his existence must be worse than mine . . . . . I troll a little, but his is a whole new level . . . . .

    Pity starts to set in . . . . . . .
