Do You Know What This Is?

[Beezer]

I custom made a T-Shirt with this on it. Their were a bunch of millennials in the Pub I was attending and I asked them if they knew what it was. One asked if it was a religious symbol...the other said he thought it was the pellet to a toy gun...still another thought it was a Pokemon character. But nobody could figure it out!

Good grief! Haven't seen on since I was 30!!

That's a 45 rpm disc you had to use for turntables to play those records when you didn't have a 45 holder. It snapped in so easily.

Yep. Took me a sec, but I got it.
I remember the cute 45 players in pretty printed cases.

You got it!

I just knew there would be a fast, correct response from one of this forum's participants. But the millennials didn't have a clue.

I do!

 

[Lewkat]

Wow, I haven't seen one of those in at least 70 years.

That brought a smile to me today. You could buy 100 for 50 cents back then.

Here's something stunning to find out.

Haha! I still use these!

Mine were always yellow also.

Does anyone know why most of them were yellow?

Yes they went in the middle of 45 rpm records! Hadn't thought of those in decades!

Yep, used them back when I was a teen, many moons ago.
