Kix cereal once offered ‘Atomic Bomb Ring’ with radioactive material as a promotion?

    It’s totally fine, the ring is probably also made of lead.

      More lead than at first; polonium-210 decays to lead. With a half life of 138 days, and 1947 being over 28,000 days ago, most of the original material is gone.

    Thats literally what they are still doing: getting rid of the nuclear waste by passing it to the younger generations.

    Apparently it flopped because it didn’t explode like the chemistry kits did, so kids thought it was boring.

      Hey, as a kid I spent a LOT of time trying to make something explode with chemistry sets. Very disapointing.

      Even while the ring’s effect was still happening, though, kids weren’t really in danger. Alpha radiation can be dangerous when ingested, but it’s also the easiest type of radiation to block — even a sheet of paper is enough, according to the National Institutes of Health.

        Alpha is the weakest, usually stopping on the skin or other thin layer. Gamma goes right through a person. In college, we were warned more about beta emission because beta could enter the body by couldn’t leave in the same way that gamma could.

          Alpha is generally considered the most dangurous, so saying it is the weakest is kinda doing an injustice. The penetration is the weakest, the radiation is the most harmful.

            That reminds me of the myth related to the daddy long-legs, that it has the most potent venom of any spider but can’t break your skin.

    Anyone else think this looks like a retro-futuristic adult toy with an extra buzzy feature?

    At least it wasn’t in the cereal like with some of the therapeutic waters available in that time

      Don’t worry, high-fructose corn syrup and unnatural dyes came a bit later for the cereal. It is like they want us dead.

      Modern breakfast cereals are largely product of post WWII “innovation”. Most of them still exist in some form. One of my favorite example is Sugar Smacks which were introduced in the early 50s and were over 50% sugar.

    There are no claims, even not from child which ingest it. Only statistical issues.
