Who remembers these?? Bought this down in South Carolina many moons ago... Goes on your back window and by squeezing a ball it drops his pants and moons the person...

Who remembers Garcia Mitchel reels... This one's a 301 I'm assuming it's just a 300 except it's the left hand model, this 301... My Dad was a lefty so this was his... I've got the 300 and the 308 which is the ultra light.. I still have a brown conolon ultra light pole... Caught alot of trout with that...

Who remembers your kitchen toaster would get so hot on the outside, you didn't dare touch it while it was in use.

Found out putting iodine on a scraped ribcage with 2 bruised ribs isn't good for X-rays. Damn nurse scrubbing it off my side did NOT feel good at all

WTF did you do, Adam?

Weellllll....

I was probably 8 or 9 and thought I could walk on top of my grandparents wooden fence with 1x6 boards. Made it the 80' from one end all the way to the other. When I got to the corner I turned around to make my return trip. Made it about 10' and missed my foot placement. Slid down the fence slowing my descent with friction of my ribcage. Moral of the story.... don't watch Bruce Lee movies and think your a ninja

I thought you just recently gotten yourself hurt. Lol

Glad I was wrong and I bet that did hurt like hell.

No. The pic posted brought back memories of my grandparents medicine cabinet in their kitchen. Always had the bottle posted in the pic along with a big bottle of iodine that they put on just about everything back then lol. Looked like a rusty red/orange and X-ray machine wouldn't go through it. I don't remember if it was iodine or mercurochrome to be real honest

 

[finelyshedded]

I forgot the title of the thread as well. Lol. Mecurachrome was a family staple throughout the 70’s for sure. The more iodine in it the more it stung. Lol

Let's not forget calling a phone number to get the time and weather. In Cincinnati it was 513-241-1010. I just called it and it's still active.
