When I was young, our school seemed to have a large electricity safety program. There were videos of children being electrocuted after going to fetch a ball from a power area, and we even had a live demonstration one day of a hot dog getting cooked on an electric wire, just like our little fingers would.
Needless to say, when I saw a commercial for Nintendo, with bolts of energy shooting from the console and the slogan, "Now you're playing with power," I was certain that it was a public service announcement to warn me against the dangers of the NES.
A childhood belief about toys
others believed things like this
- My dad told me that the reason Birds didn't get electrocuted on overhead wire was they had rubber feet!!— Derricki
- I used to want to become a Power Ranger. No lie.Anon
- I used to believe that Electricity was chiped overseas in large thick rubber boxes on ships.Anon
- I used to believe that God was Zordon from the power rangers.... heh— Dawnie
- I used to think that when the power goes out, the water also stops working.Anon
- When i was about 5 - 8 i though the Power Rangers Existed!!
