Pop Topping! & Machine Guns

Here's a few vintage failures I've had stored up in Flickr or posted on Retrospace Zeta. This first one, Pop-Topping!, is 70's pathos in its purest most distilled form. Can you imagine walking around wearing a pop top headwear? Wouldn't that be painful?

Strangely enough, both my wife and I have a faint memory of this fashion anomaly.... either it was on TV (PM Magazine or something) or just noticed the book somewhere. Bizarre.... but perhaps not as bizarre as the next one.... 

I posted this on Retrospace Zeta and it wasn't long before I started seeing it everywhere. Forget about the fact that it's a fully automatic machine gun for kids, the damn gun's name is "Bick Dick".  My favorite line is "Get Big Dick and be envied by every boy in town."
