cherry basket 

In the early '60's in Tampa, Fl, groups of teens usually driving home from a game would play a car game at red light called "cherry baskets" You jump out of your car at the stop light, drivers included, run around as many cars as you could & get back to where you started before the light changed. Sometimes, the passengers would change cars & the game continued to the next light & so on until everyone was back in their original car & it was time to head home.
