1945. In an effort to prevent tooth decay, Grand Rapids, Michigan, became the first U.S. city to add fluoride to its water system.
But we all know it's a commie plot still to this day.
I thought about posting this but decidedd it would get more exposure elsewhere and be more well-known a(s your post exemplifies) while the Lego thing is a bit more unknown as far as a date in history.Thought for sure when I clicked on this today, someone would have mentioned the Challenger exploding after liftoff in 1986. Damn, I can remember that almost like yesterday. And then a year or so later when they finally launched the next Shuttle, we all gathered in a large room at work to watch [and in a fairly literal sense] with held breath till it passed the 73 second mark.
I can't even begin to imagine the conspiracy bullshit we'd be put through had this happened today instead of 39 years ago.
I never had or wanted any G.I. Joe toys. As you said, it’s a doll. When at a buddy’s house if the options were Hot Wheels, run around outside, or G.I. Joe, Joe was a distant third.While I was of the target age when the first GI Joe was marketed, two things intervened to prevent me from ever wanting one. 1) By the time these toys got to were I was in Eastern NC, I was too old. 2) Even if GI Joe's had been test marketed in my hometown, I'm pretty just I would recoiled with a disgusted, "I'm not going to play with a doll!" B/T/W, I distinctly remember thinking #2 at the time they were rolled out.
