    Whatever happened to these anyway? I remember those leaving my life as quickly as they had entered it when I was little

    Great idea, except that the only thing they’ll do is dissolve in the contact solution…

    Nobody is putting in contacts dry. Even the psychos back away when you try.

      I had people at high school who did this regularly.

      Same crowd than snorted sherbet when we made it, put hot glue in their hands to see who could hold it longer… did the same thing with metal rulers and bunsen burners.

      Didn’t see any of them graduate for some reason.

      Oh man, I had forgotten about this… We had this ex hippy visual basics teacher in high school… And our class was awful to her… I don’t think I contributed much but we were little shits. I am not proud…but anyway one day the stoner kid walks in and has these and is like, ‘look miss acid!’ she freaked the fuck out and snatches them and is like smelling them… The whole time we’re like ‘miss if that’s acid… You’re about to have an eventful Wednesday with the way you’re handling them.’

      She eventually had a break down… I’m not sure we were directly the reason, but there’s no way we weren’t a contribution… That class was wild. But yeah some admin person showed up and asked us ‘did she say anything when she left on Friday?’ apparently she noped the fuck out and went surfing in Hawaii… I hope she’s doing okay.
