Exactly. Back in the 80’s they used to be called “Ghetto Blasters”, and possibly still are at times. In the 90’s (when this happened) I heard that started being called “Blasters.” For all I know, they’re called “Chuzzwuzzlers” nowadays.

Didn’t the Hoos use chuzzwuzzlers in that old Grinch Xmas special?
