I had a great laugh when I saw this one.
I wonder how many young people today would even recognize this?

Nice, I just found 2 in a drawer about 20 years old and I couldn't believe they each had 36 exposure roll of Tri-X film that has never been developed. Guess I will have to get them developed since I don't have a dark room any more. :lol:

I have to finish a roll of film I have in an old Agfa. That was my first "real" camera back in the 60's. I recently bought one on ebay for a few dollars and put some film in it.

I have one of those on my desk too! My 3 year-old grandson even knows what is in it. He has a little trouble with not having the picture appear on the back of the camera though.

I still have a couple of the metal ones too, wish I'd kept more. I bought out a wedding photographer a couple years ago and she threw in an old Hassleblad that had a roll of exposed film in it. I've been tempted to have it developed.

Oooh! I hope you cleaned them thoroughly. You might be getting more than your doctor prescribed.

I think those "new fangled" pill bottles were first designed to be "senior citizens with arthritis hands" proof :thumbdown: :thumbdown: but some brilliant marketer decided that that they couldn't advertise them as such and came up with the "Baby Proof" slogan.
As an ode to marketing stupidity: about 45 years ago when our oldest son was in "pre-school" some marketing organization came up with the "brilliant" idea of testing some designs for baby or youth proof pill bottle caps and cut a deal with the school to provide them with a bunch of samples for the kids to test :thumbdown: . Remember this was pre-school so most of the kids couldn't yet read, non-the-less about half the kids had them open within a few minutes!
The mothers, including my wife, went absolutely ballistic :thumbup:, and the school never did that again :-D .

When I was about twelve years old, I filled one of those with gun powder and threw it in my aunt's coal burning furnace. It is amazing how much smoke and coal dust can come out of all the registers all at once!
