      Hey now. We aren’t that old and we also gave birth to this internet thing. I used to have dreams that all the stupid shit in the world would go away once people could actually communicate and see all the wonderful things in this world. Whoo boy, was I wrong.

      I remember flashbulbs clearly from when I was a youngster back in the 80’s. There was a lot of weird shit back then, actually.

      You’re off by a couple of decades. I used one of these at my sister’s graduation in 1991. The camera was old then, but you could still easily buy 110mm film and flash bars. FYI, 1991 wasn’t 50 years ago just yet.

        Your average social media user is like how do I use a rotary dial phone, this will be so foreign that it could be from area 51 for all they know. But also I would love to get a hold of one of these flashbangs from Kodak and use it out in the wild and see what the kids do.
