  1. Some highlights. by Kenelson · · Score: 1 · on Consumer Reports From Ages Past
    Now I am sure the people will try to sell anything, no matter how inconvent, unlikely, or plain dangerous.

  2. The expression on his face is priceless by crisco · · Score: 1 · on Consumer Reports From Ages Past

    Instant glue, 1973

    Problem is, I've done it to myself before.

  3. The past by MikeTurk · · Score: 1 · on Consumer Reports From Ages Past
    Is it just me, or were the 30s-60s just really weird?

    The Edsel's transmission.

    The Car Record Player.

    The Paper Dress.

    The Dust-Spittin' Vacuum.

    And of course, the Sonic Blaster.

    I am a child of the '80s-'90s. I cannot imagine what Mattel was thinking. One of the engineers must have pulled a fast one on the suits. I want one, but I wouldn't wanna deal with modern-day lawsuits.

  9. The Ecology Kit by Jerky+McNaughty · · Score: 2 · on Consumer Reports From Ages Past

    I like the Ecology Kit:

    Ecology kits, 1973

    This Mr. Wizard kit, as its name implies, consists entirely of culturing molds and bacteria. That should be done only under professional supervision--even if you don't follow the kit's suggestion that you culture matter from dirty garbage cans. We rate it Not Acceptable.

  11. A better link by Modnar · · Score: 2 · on Consumer Reports From Ages Past

    A easier link for navigating is http://www.consumerrepor ts.org/Functions/More/photgal.html and it allows much freer and easier browsing. And now, back to laziness.

  12. Under dash record player by davie · · Score: 2 · on Consumer Reports From Ages Past

    My favorite has to be the under dash record player for 45 RPMs. The article complained about the lack of a changer--the more things change, the more they stay the same.

  13. Sneeze anyone? by afniv · · Score: 2 · on Consumer Reports From Ages Past
