OK, so's the boards a bit bored...

Identify the following items (yes, they really existed) from so many 'toons:

1. Reducing oil

2. Vanishing cream/lotion

3. 'Safety' matches


and while you're thinking about it, pls visit my "Lookin' to Swap" post - Somebody's got to have a few...

1. Reducing oil

Haven't a clue! Some sort of wieght loss thing?

2. Vanishing cream/lotion

Is it some sort of woman's cosmetic that reduces wrinkles and other stuff like that?

3. 'Safety' matches

The type of matches with a cover, like you get at hotels? Some people collect them.

1. Reducing oil
I don't know that one...I'm guessing it's some sort of cosmetic thing.

2. Vanishing cream/lotion
It's a cosmetic cream that is placed over acne, wrinkles, blemishes, etc., and is supposed to hide them. I think.

3. 'Safety' matches
I'm pretty sure these are the covered matches, like Jack said.

Isn't it some concoction to shrink pores in skin, like a pore refiner? Cf. Quinn Morgendorffer's rant in the "Monster" ep of Daria: "If you can see any of my pores on camera, I swear, I'll kill you. Stop the tape! I do not have pores! My pores are cute! My pores are tiny!" :p

1. Reducing oil
Reduced-calorie cooking oil

2. Vanishing cream/lotion
Cosmetic used to conceal 'liver' or 'age' spots

3. 'Safety' matches
either 'book' (Jack) or 'box' (in 'toons, sometimes used as beds for tiny critters). The difference was that they would ignite only when struck on the ulta-fine sandpaper glued on the book/box (as opposed to the original, which would ignite (ala 'kitchen' match) when struck on any rough surface.
