Question: What do you remember that 95% of us have forgotten?
Copiers were exceptionally expensive when I was a kid and so schools and most businesses used a machine like this if they had to make a small number of copies.
Mimeograph machines:
Defense Department signs OpenAI for $200 million 'frontier AI' pilot project - theregister.com
Koogle:
Porno films that came with a “free projector”:
Cigarette ads on the rear cover of EVERY magazine:
How to Cut Your Biological Age by Up to 16 Years: Make This Tweak to Your Daily Walk - Inc.com
Jet magazine and the accompanying “Jet Beauty”
A magazine started in 1951 that highlighted the African American community in the United States in an era where Black issues and people were not reported on in the mainstream. This was a weekly magazine until 2009 and it was in print until 2014. While it’s now in digital form (along with its companion magazine Ebony) The Jet Beauty was one of the few places that attractive African American models could be seen, although the sexist nature of photos was always a minor controversy.
Since I don’t know 95% of you I can only guess…..
At one time, peanut butter was deemed not to have enough flavor and so Koogle, a flavored peanut spread, was introduced. Similar to Nutella, Koogle lasted into the late 1990s when dietary changes and poor sales rendered it extinct.
Hmmm…..
A friend and I almost set his house on fire when we were watching one of these and it overheated and melted. I wasn’t allowed to come to his house again because of it even though it wasn’t MY projector.
Why did Donald Trump and Melania Trump sleep in different rooms?
