Radioactive Toothpaste

History is *filled* with astonishingly bad ideas. And who would have guessed that some of the worst would come out of collectivist totalitarian systems like Nazi Germany?

The Case of The Radioactive Toothpaste

Curiously, the toothpaste in question was filled with Radium, the radioactive element of choice for insane and/or stupid product manufacturers in the early 20th century, but Thorium. Why Thorium? Well… “why not” seems to have been the answer.

    I’d love some Radium paint to go on the grills of a 1/350 Refit Enterprise…to go behind that big pane of thick rad-resistant glass you posted about years ago.

    Let that and plastic get cancer. No batteries!
