weed containers...at least that's what we my friends USED them for back in the day...

So I've been told......a long time ago in the restaurant business nobody took those to the FotoMat....they had other contents.

@Fordtech86 - - FotoMats were little booth-sized stores where you dropped your camera film off to be developed. After a couple days you could pick up your developed pictures.

Cameras back then used photographic film that had to be developed in a "dark room."

I actually knew what the really were, my dad was a semi pro photographer when I was younger, he had a dark room in the basement and would develop his own film. I think inhaling them chemicals as a kid may actually explain a lot

In high school I took a "yearbook" class - I took a butt load of photos too - and was head of the darkroom. If I had a 1980 dollar for every roll of film I developed I could buy us all beers for the night.

Those containers had all kind of usage - some "good" and some "different!"

lol, when I was really into photography in the 70's n 80's I not only had a darkroom (B&W and color) but also used a film back on my camera that loaded a 100' roll of film. When shooting at Lime Rock (CT) I would easily burn through the roll.
Then came the work of developing and contact printing, ugh. I was thrilled if I got 5-6 really good shots.

Had a tool that used photographic plates. A kid working the receiving dock wanted to make sure that the company was getting all that we ordered so he opened every single box and counted the plates. It took a few days for the Kodak rep and us to figure it out.

Just how I felt when my son fixed my crappy 'punch downs' on my ethernet lines last night!

Why can't you hear a pterodactyl going to the bathroom?
Because the p is silent.

Someone asked me "where did your wife go hunting?" And I said "Alaska".
He said "never mind, I'll ask her myself."

What do you call a lazy kangaroo?
A pouch potato.
