Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Actually the awesome thing about Hydrogen as fuel is the exhaust is water!

In 10 years the next huge environmental crisis will be burying millions of spent Lithium car batteries. They’re not recyclable because they are encapsulated in a crash proof case.
They have to be almost impossible to come apart in case of an accident.
A lithium fire is hard to extinguish.
Oops you don’t hardly ever hear about that future disaster and water won’t put them out.
This car just spontaneously combusted!

I've come to realize that "fully recyclable" is just a feel good phrase.
 
On a side note. I remember a sign that said “NO CUT OFFS” posted above the wall of baskets. It was years later before I realized the sign meant jeans cut into swim shorts and not amputees :rollno:.
That reminds me of being a kid afraid to enter a pool with my "Made In Japan" inflatable because the sign said, "NO FOREIGN OBJECTS ALLOWED".:rolleyes: True story!:laugh:
 
So many camping trips where I saw this jar pop up! I know the the brand is still around, but the packaging is more “modern”. I miss the jar.

As teenagers we would pop the caffeine crystals straight into the mouth...no water needed.
I think you would call it Mainlining Tasters Choice! Makes your teeth purty too! Ha!

The John Agar flick reminded me of this.

I remember this particular movie which I saw on late night TV and it scared the heebie-geebies out of me. Still kind of does today. Creepy in the classic mode. You also get the added bonus of Don Rickles in it too.

Funny thing is I’ve seen this several times and don’t remember Don Rickles?
I need to watch this again. Ray Milland spiraled out of control pretty good!

Rickles did a lotta minor parts in movies b4 he became a "comedian"(not a fan). Saw him in some old WWII submarine flicks.
