well if you got grossed out then it is your own fault!! I warned you!
(D was watching TV one time...I guess he was about ten...and we just managed to catch several commercials for women's products. He turned to me with this LOOK on his face and said "girls are gross"...THANK YOU MADISON AVENUE!!)
I get his point though...you never see a man sitting out by the creek with his son discussing whether he feels 'fresh'...

The switch/rocker deals on pop cans.
(Sorry, I don't know the correct name for them)
It may not be the most exciting invention in our life time, but remember those awful pull tabs they use to put on pop cans?
You would pull them off, and there was NEVER a trash can nearby to put it in. So, people would just throw them on the ground. Those little suckers were sharp too. I have no idea how many times I stepped on them barefoot as a kid. I saved a lot of mine and made chains with them. Sometimes I would just drop them down in my pop can. My mother hated that. She would say "Don't do that! You'll choke on it".
Now they have the little rocker thing on there and it stays on the can. It cuts down on sidewalk litter too! :)
David In Indy:
Rechargeable Batteries
God. Everything uses batteries today... especially those AA batteries.
Now that I own some digital cameras, I really go through them. My Sony camera has its own rechargeable battery, but my Canon digital camera EATS AA batteries. I finally broke down and bought a charger and some rechargeable batteries. Now, every time my camera flashes that rude battery sign with the line through it, I just take the batteries out and recharge them again. EAT THAT CANON! :)

Actually, I remember cans when you had to open them with a can opener, then I remember the pull tops, and the kind they have know.
I saved the pull tops and made chains and chains of them. Not sure why, just something to do...the good old days, when you had time to waste! LOL

Hey, how about toasters with slots wide enough for bagels?
