Someone please explain the light bulb part, wtf

And this add makes me never want to drink out of a Dixie cup ever again D:

I think it has to do with if the Bulb was hot. So not to burn your hands.

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

That's the only use I could think of. Because waiting 30 seconds for the bub to cool is just too inconvenient.

None of these uses are very practical. They didn't give these ideas much thought.

to be fair, if you're using specialized lights for reptiles, you don't want to touch the bulbs because the oils on your skin can cause them to blow out

but that is very specialized

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

I had no idea, but yeah, that would be a very niche market!

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

the quartz in the bulbs reacts badly to whatever is in the oil on our skin.

We had these! The dispenser hung over the kitchen sink.

I'm sure I used them frequently, but the only thing I actually remember doing is mixing Nestle's Quik and a little bit of water in a Dixie cup and eating it with a spoon. Yum, gritty chocolatiness!

[weelisa.livejournal.com]

I just got a spoon full of the dry chocolate whenever I could go undetected. No fancy water for me.

Of course, the dry powder would inevitably make me start coughing - so my mom always knew what I was up to: "FOR THE LAST TIME, STAY OUT OF THE QUIK!"

But, yes, chocolate grit......yum.....

Ha, my thoughts exactly - and you beat me to it!

[tree_and_leaf]

And virtually all of these jobs (except the light-bulb one) could also be done with a glass, but never mind....

[misstia]

exactly what i thought!

[koboldmaki.livejournal.com]

But a glass can do all these things? Except for the lightbulb. I would totally get non-disposable cups designed like dixie cups, I have to say. They're pretty.

A landfill-clogging cup...

[misstia]

shhhhh, don't wake al gore! ;-)

[luke-russell.livejournal.com]

Damn you! I had almost forgotten about the sanctimonious Gore!

[misstia]

well maybe we can get him on his private jet and fly him to the other side of the world? sanctimonious is the perfect word for him!!

[almond-cakes.livejournal.com]

Laughing at the guy evesdropping, because, yes, I've done that, but with a glass!

I hope they fired the ad genius who put cigarette butts in the product next to someone cutting out cookies with it.

[noluck-boston.livejournal.com]

Sure, and now he is CEO of Hostess.

*was*, lol

The one thing which would have made the most sense is to have them in an office environment, where you want to keep down germs and nobody wants to do the dishes. You can tell it's an old ad that they even mention an ashtray let alone show one.
