I tried finding Mercurochrome the other day...no luck

Merbromin is an organomercuric disodium salt compound used as a topical antiseptic for minor cuts and scrapes and as a biological dye. Readily available in most countries, it is no longer sold in Switzerland, Brazil, France, Iran, Germany, or the United States due to its mercury content.

There are some guys who defied the odds.

Given every adult I knew all smoked heavily indoors — relatives, friends, neighbors — I was averaging two packs a day of Chesterfield non filters from the age of two.

I remember my first doctor. He used to adjust the stethoscope between drags on his Lucky Strike.

I remember my dermatologist in High School used to crush me with smoke from his pipe . That probably didn’t help my skin much …

Wonder what happened to the purple stuff too

Riding around loose in the back of a pickup truck.
Mercurochrome in the medicine cabinet.
Riding bikes behind the mosquito spray truck. (Mmm, DDT!)

I have no idea how I made it this far.

Back to the original point, Slim is right. High fructose corn syrup is one of the worst things one can consume. Absolutely toxic.

I still like Tang, but the kind of tang that I get now has nothing to do with the orange stuff that went to the moon. Salty Surfers also promised the "tang of the open sea."

I have no idea, either, how I made it. Like it was perfectly normal during the late 70's to ride around in the back of a pickup, everyone's flying on acid, in Marin County.

Spa life has kept us older gentlemen healthy looking after years of abuse. We lead a healthy lifestyle and give back to the community in three hundred dollar increments.

Damn. I remember Tang from the old days. It was pretty nasty, unless you could find the happy medium of just the right amount with water.

I had a relative who used to mix tang with country time to make punch for summer kids B-Day parties - I swear we all glowed in the dark after drinking it.

Actually, Dick Dastardly is a great screen name for this site.

@AutomaticSlim Did you make this thread just for me to make a cereal rant? I will.

It was tough to decide between this & spam.
