These dinosaur soaps were a premium given out a Sinclair Gas Stations when people bought a tank of gasoline.
I remember these! And, much to my surprise...
Invalid Link Removed
Thanks for that link. I didn’t know they were still in business. The closest Sinclair station to me is in Indianapolis. Years ago they used to be all over town. In fact, there’s still Sinclair Rd. in Columbus where they had a storage facility. I hadn’t thought of that in years.
Point of reference, Sinclair Rd. is where the AlRosa Villa is. That’s the venue where Dimebag Darrell was killed. MHRIP.

Apparently it costs $60 to buy one. Who would even pay that?
Who remembers these things? They were useless back then, and even more useless now.

I ruined more than my fair share of Beatles 45's on exactly one of these.

I friend of mine had a hand-crank flashlight. It was hilarious when went spelunking and he was constantly fiddling with it. Luckily, he was smart enough to, also, bring a headlamp.
