Hello,

I just assembled some sets from the 80s/90s and found several bricks of the same
type, but one was strangely loose and does not fit as good as the others. Also,
with closer examination, I noted that this one had a different "LEGO" font. So
were there different fonts in the 80s or is it even a real LEGO brick?

See pictures, the first brick is the odd one.

Yes, LEGO logos on the studs were a different font decades ago. The brick in
the first photo looks like one from the 1970's or earlier.

It is an older brick, looks like it is a CA one, not ABS.
It does not belong to that set, it comes from earlier sets.

But it is LEGO.

Just replace it with a 90ties one

Monet was almost completely blind.
Beethoven was deaf.

And who says it was not invented by an immigrant?

It needs to to cope with that much salt.

I do like all sorts of liquorice including odd flavours and some salty, never
tried and not sure I would like the very salty.

Love it with chilli and strangely with lavender amongst many.
