[CreekDog]

6. "a can a week, that's all we ask"

[SeattleGirl]

7. No kidding!

If I put that much hair spray on my hair, it would self-destruct!

[EFerrari]

8. We used to spray it directly at the sun. What did we know?

[CreekDog]

10. i sat behind a girl in class and when the sun would shine on her head, it would smoke

[EFerrari]

11. Was there anything NOT in an aerosol can in 1982?

Whipped cream, paint, deodorant, hairspray, air -- if it wasn't in a spray, we didn't have time to use it! :shrug:

[CreekDog]

12. oh it went beyond 1982

:rofl:

that ozone hole didn't develop overnight. :hi:

i did not use much hair spray, even though guys did back then.

[EFerrari]

13. I never used much hairspray because making your hair into a helmet

always seemed a simulation of rigor mortis to me. lol :hi:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

9. I never let my hair get that wild.

I got too much hair to let it get that long.

[Symarip]

20. True story

I was a high school teacher for one whole year in '91-'92 (or was it '92-'93? it was so awful I forget) in a backwater burg that was still wallowing in the '80s. Most of the girls would strut around with no books, no pen, and no paper, but a mondo can of Aqua-Net in their hand (so big it wouldn't fit into their giant purse).
