Magic Dip


magic-dip

Submitted by StreakyBishie

This was the coolest invention ever for those of us who wanted tie dye but didn’t have parents who trusted us with “permanent color”. Basically what you would do is take a fish tank full of water (or other large, deep container), pour the dye on top, and it would float there. Then you would dip things into it and the color would stick to it. Here’s the funny part: I called my mom trying to remember the name of this stuff only to find out that she had FOUND an unopened box of it in the basement.

Skannerz

Submitted by Spencer M

From Wikipedia:

The original Skannerz came in three versions which represented the three tribes. Zendra (blue), Pataak (green) and Ujalu (red). If a player scanned a barcode containing a rival tribe’s monster, a battle would be initiated. Also items could be gathered from Universal Product Code barcodes. Another feature is the two player battle system where two units could be linked together and battle. There are 126 monsters to collect and control between the 3 controllers.

Days of Thunder


From Wikipedia:

Days of Thunder revolved around a talented, hot-shot auto racing rookie, (#46 and 51) Cole Trickle (Cruise), who, after trying his hand in the American open wheel ranks, seeks to win on the NASCAR circuit. His mechanic mentor, Harry Hogge (Duvall), acts as his crew chief. He also develops a romantic relationship with Dr. Claire Lewicki (Nicole Kidman), a young brain surgeon who tries to tame him. Lo and behold, just when he thought it was safe and easy to get back into a race car and drive, an arrogant and dangerous newcomer by the name of Russ Wheeler (Cary Elwes) doesn’t make it easy on him, picking on him because he knows he can get away with it. Wheeler not only substitute-drove Trickle’s pink Superflo car while Cole was in the hospital, but now he is teammates with Cole under the selfish, bullheaded leadership of car owner Tim Daland (Randy Quaid). Cole slowly tolerates Russ’s arrogance until, after a race in which Russ cheats to win the race, Cole has his tires changed, and violently rams Wheeler from the side after the race, a response to their growing rivalry.
