Random Retro Odds & Ends

Trouble.....With Pop-O-Matic
They were fun......Too much fun....If you accidentally inhaled any of this fumy crap,  prepare for an INCREDIBLE evening of light-headedness, dizziness, occasional hallucinations and sometimes nausea. They were pulled when it was found out why kids were acting weird after playing with this stuff. Not that kids were "normal" doing anything else particularly.....   

The Spirograph was a drawing kit that launched a million abstract artist careers.....
In the late '80s, "Cajun flavoured" anything was a big seller......

I'm sorry, but "Nesquik" is a STUPID rebranding of this otherwise awesome mix.....
The Sharp QT-50  (1985) was a mini-portable in some pretty far out colours.......
Undisputedly the worst shaped popsicle EVER........
Sound familiar? This button came out when Reagan's economic policies were becoming apparent by the early '80s....
.....and something more recent. I don't know WHO came up with these super creepy looking mascots for the 2012 Olympics, but they have been known for giving some little kids nightmares (LITTLE KIDS?? They give ME nightmares!)
