LINKY!
Doesn’t seem to beat lava lamps.
No, seriously.
That dude clearly never did any drug worth doing.He was just spouting a clever marketing line of BS that many people (or, at least some, apparently) fell for.
Yeah. You could look at lava lamps instead of taking drugs.
Or.
You could look at lava lamps combined with taking drugs.
But that would make you a very naughty person because winners don’t do drugs.
Busted!
(Does it count if it was all over 30 years ago?)
Some time back, our bulb in the lava lamp burned out. Naturally, it’s a weirdo little non-standard size, so I had to visit the hardware store to find a new one. Two employees in their mid-fifties seemed to get quite the kick out of someone needing a replacement bulb for a lava lamp. They were riffing on Pink Floyd, smoking weed, asking if I needed a new black light as well, just cracking themselves right up.
Whatever the inventor claimed, the correlation between lava lamps and drugs remains firmly entrenched it seems.
I love lava lamps. I buy them occasionally for the kids for various holiday gifts, but no one enjoys them as much as I do. Now I want one too!
Why weren’t the options “love,” “like,” “lukewarm,” and “loathe”?
I love them, even though I didn’t grow up in the 60s. I just think they are cool looking.
I like them, I just wish they didn’t get so hot
Completely indifferent to them. My mom had one in the '60s when she was trying out her middle-aged hippie option. If there’s one around I’ll probably look at it (if there’s no aquarium nearby), but I wouldn’t feel any loss if all Lava Lamps ceased to exist.
Wow, really? I can think of at least three stores within a 10-20 mile radius I could for sure find one if I wanted to buy one tomorrow: Spencers, 5 Below, and K-Mart. I think Walmart might even sell them. Oh, they do.
Ooh. Gravy, booby!
I guess I’m not much of a shopper, or I don’t go down the right aisles.
Like. It’s just that they’re a nostalgic memory from the psychedelic Sixties, my childhood, and I was pleased to see them make a comeback so many years later.
I felt the same way, until the comeback. I guess they don’t look as good to my adult eyes. Or maybe I should have been stoned.
Right there in the hardware store? Geez!
I like 'em. I think they look neat and I like that they don’t give off much actual light (I like my rooms fairly dark unless I’m reading).
But I have a cat, and I worry that she’ll knock it over, so I got rid of mine a few years ago.
One’s on my dresser. The kids each have one. Aaaand , we have a huge fiber-optic light thingythat rotates and changes colors.
They’re groovy, baby!
The Wave. A very close second to the low-tech coolness of Lava Lite. If only the blue stuff would glow… I love these kind of “warm liquid goo” toys. Maybe I miss being a sperm?
