I remember as a kid my parents had a tin pump that they would put DDT in and spray. Your post reminded me.

2 second Google search!

The “Nico Time” advertisement promoting smoking during pregnancy is fake. It stems from the video game series Bioshock!

So Don't believe everything you see on the internet

We have so much information available to us today that we can question more. Back in the days of no tech people were a lot more naive and trusting.

I don't believe everything I see anywhere. I just thought it was funny.

In 1952, approximately 65 % of the thorium produced in the U.S. was being used in lantern mantles. It has been estimated that the annual production/sales of mantles in the U.S. was 20 million in 1974, 25 million in 1981 and 50 million in 2000. Sometime around 1990, the Coleman Company replaced the thorium in their mantles with yttrium. The yttrium mantle produces about 20% less light, but it lasts longer. According to NUREG-1717, about half of the 50 million mantles sold in the U.S. in 2000 (or thereabouts), contained thorium

I recall seeing a very old mantle proudly claiming how radioactive it was on the packaging.
