Like, totally. This used to be hot, I shit you not.
There are between 10 and 20 pages of watches in the ’83 catalog. I forgot how fashionable they used to be, especially in the kid world. We didn’t have the internet to advertise our likes and obsessions, and watches were one way to show the other kids how cool we were. And all adults wore watches. It was the law.
Okay, so we’re in the “Health care” section, right? So why do we have an ashtray listed at (3)? Well, because the ashtray “Uses powerful airflow to draw smoke through 6-stage filter and releases it as clean air.”
This thing is really, really scary. My guess is that quite a few of the girls who liked Strawberry Shortcake this much went insane.
