Anyone know where I can get auto-retractable car shades or blinds?

Nothing with a chain or bead system.
I'm looking for the kind that has a release button or retracts like a seatbelt

just curious as i've never tried, but it won't taste the same as freezing straight up root beer? i think that last time i had a popsicle pete branded popsicle i was in elementary school!

No, not the same. I don't know how they do it, 'cause frozen root beer tastes like poo. When I was a kid, I hated anything root beer. It was only later in life I started to like it.

You know what poo tastes like? :pokerface:



If you like rootbeer, go to a flip store and get a can of Sarsi Cola.

Are you looking for the small side window ones? TJ Kiddies or Toys R Us will have the seatbelt retracting kind.

Looking for a transparent plastic sheet. It's gotta be semi pliable and not rigid. maybe 1mm thick. Need a normal paper size, if it's a big sheet, I can always cut it down. What comes to mind is the transparency used for overhead projectors, but that's too flimsy. I'm going to go to Staples and see if maybe their desk pads will work, but if you guys/girls have other suggestions, I'd like to hear it.

spoiler-ed because pic is huge

I was told that nowadays they put one root beer flavoured popsicle in one box out of ten. That's freaking 1/100!!!!!

Obviously not easy to find these days. Back when I was a kid they were easier to find. I guess it costs more to make?

Either that or it's their way of fucking with people's minds/taste buds.



It's not for me, but for a dear freind - it's a last wish kind of thing. If you spot one let me know where and hide it deep in the freezer of the store where nobody else can find/get it.


I would laugh my ass off if they made like boxes of the stuff. That would put my friend in seventh heaven.


thanks in advance, RS.


Edit: just found out, they stopped making them. Just like garlic flavoured shoestring potato chips, they only survive in memories.

Was in the states, just thought I'd check just for the heck of it. I can confirm there was none at Wal-Mart, nor Target. :(

Contact your nearest liquor store, they can basically order anything as long as you are not in a hurry to get it.

Easiest is to order it online, or take a road trip. They aren't doing sales through retailers much anymore, I'm not sure why.

Is it the same for you as black liquorice?

anyone know where to buy leather jacket oil or protector spray? All I have seen in stores are the shoe spray or polish, none for leather jacket.

underscore 06-16-2015 10:00 PM

^ what about leather couch products? Since they'd have more movement than shoes.
