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. :oops:

@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.

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.
