25 years ago, two guys tried to rob my mom at gunpoint. She shot one of them in the neck and the other ran off.
That's when I decided to stop talking back to my mom.
Happy Mother's Day!
This Lone Ranger Atomic Bomb ring was distributed by Kix cereal in the late 40's, for 15 cents and a mail-in box top.
It was actually a spinthariscope containing radioactive Polonium-210 (one of the most toxic substances out there).
A child would take the toy into a pitch-black room, remove the tail cap from the 'bomb', and look through a tiny lens to see flashes of light from the Polonium-210 atoms decaying into Lead-206.
@neontaster I saw the Luke Stephens video on this. The whole ‘indie’ angle the tried to push while hiding the large Tencent investment was pretty scummy.
