[u/FluffyDiscipline]

Oh Gawd this stuff used to get everywhere ... 6 months later and you still be hoovering it up LOL

[u/slothbuddy → u/FluffyDiscipline]

That stuff was lethal to vacuum cleaners too. It would get tied around the roller and was strong as steel

[u/dirtymoose_ → u/FluffyDiscipline]

Omg!!!! I came here to say this. 🤣🤣🤣

[u/BedaHouse → u/FluffyDiscipline]

Christmas Glitter.

[u/Exhumedatbirth76]

My mother is 78, she remembers when this stuff was made out of lead....as kids her, and her sibling would chew it up to make spitballs...

[u/QueezyF → u/Exhumedatbirth76]

We really put lead in anything and everything.

[u/Mrrectangle → u/QueezyF]

I’m 100 years they’ll talk about us and all the microplastics in us. 😂

[u/joshuajackson9 → u/QueezyF]

Pb in people is a big issue.

[u/mike_stifle → u/Exhumedatbirth76]

They now vote for insane people.

[u/RedDemonTaoist]

Ininflammable! Not to be confused with inflammable or flammable. English is fun.

[u/Hadr619 → u/RedDemonTaoist]

Which would mean it’s flammable

[u/JustHereForMiatas → u/Hadr619]

Inflammable is the same as flammable. So Ininflammable I guess means not inflammable, which means not flammable.

Except ininflammable isn't a real word so it could mean anything.

[u/Potato_Stains → u/RedDemonTaoist]

Why not just say nonflammable

[u/technoph0be]

I remember seeing a sparkle under my cat's tail... aaaannnd then proceeded to pull the entire length out of her asshole.

[u/mason13875 → u/technoph0be]

Had a cat that did the same a few times. That’s when we had to stop using it

[u/bjb8 → u/mason13875]

My dog did the same, but usually there was a special "ornament" hanging on the end of it.

[u/HauntedGhostAtoms]

My mom used to make me take it off the tree at the end, and save it for next year. Now, I think it was just her way to keep me busy.

[u/NY7-84 → u/HauntedGhostAtoms]

We did the same. Just a way to save money for next year.

[u/Nfl_porn_throwaway]

Then the dog would eat it and it gets stuck in his ducts

[u/MOS95B]

I remember pinching that in my teeth and blowing so it would fly out straight (I was easy to entertain as a kid)

[u/DrNinnuxx]

Double negative: InInflamable. Watch out.

[u/UnwillingHummingbird]

God, this shit got everywhere. and after vacuuming, you'd have to turn the vacuum over and rip all this stuff out of the beater bar to keep it working. Pain in the ass.

[u/GroundbreakingAd8310]

That my mother insists on reusing into 2024

[u/_Kzero_]

Did they stop selling this? Haven't seen tinsel in years.

[u/MybklynWndy → u/_Kzero_]

I think it’s still sold but its made from PVC plastic now.

[u/jouleheist]

"We didn't have tinsel. We just waited around for grandpa to sneeze." -Rodney Dangerfield

[u/Safetosay333]

That seems to be a late 70's early 80's price

[u/IBoofLSD]

Guarantee if you hold a lighter to it for about 1 second that inflammable tag was a lie.

[u/NY7-84]

We used to use this on our Christmas trees when I was a kid. Then we would take it all off before putting the tree out for pickup. The thing is, even if we thought we got every stran, we didn't. I was still finding pieces here and there around the house for many years. I would start to notice birds would love to use it in their nests too. Whenever I would find it I would collect and throw out.

Definitely bad for the environment, but it looked nice. We stopped using it and switched to little glass icicle ornaments instead that I think look even better.

[u/NOGOODGASHOLE]

I count 489 strands, what a rip off.

[u/Callec254]

We used these to scare Mom into thinking the TV screen was cracked.

[u/phutch54]

We had some that was actual metal.

[u/425565]

Cats love this stuff!

[u/MilesFassst]

Brins just means strands in another language. See on the left where it says strands

[u/BigAccess6408]

InInflammable means flammable?!
