Anyone remember motorized seatbelts? 🚗 In the late ’80s and early ’90s, automakers widely used motorized shoulder belts as an alternative to airbags. The belt automatically moved into place when the door closed or the ignition came on. The problem? You still had to buckle the manual lap belt. Dual airbags ended this nonsense by the mid-to-late 1990s

🎬In his 1980 film, Robert Altman had a clever way of showing Bluto ‘seeing red’ when Olive Oyl arrives with Popeye. There was no digital effect or color filter added. The crew created the entire look: dressing the set in red, bathing everything in red light, and putting Popeye, Olive and Swee’Pea in matching red outfits. Old-school movie magic

☕️ Back in 2000, Paul Stanley of KISS fame filmed a Folgers commercial completely out of costume. Set inside a circus tent with acrobats flying overhead, Stanley sang a customized version of ‘The best part of waking up’ before magically disappearing into thin air. Focus groups apparently found the vibe a little too bizarre and Folgers pulled the plug before it ever aired. It stayed an urban legend until the footage finally surfaced online in 2014
