Back in the 1990s when I was living in Grand Forks, North Dakota, there was a building that housed Sensations Nightclub, the Down Under Pub, Campus Liquors and several other businesses. In the inside hallway was a pinball machine that one of my friends decided to play one night. After a bad game, she shouted, “Bad Girls sucks your balls!” and something like that is hard to forget.
I randomly happened upon this Bad Girls flyer while scrolling through some eBay listings and, yeah, I had to get it.
Looks like the original Sani-Flush was still being sold until 2009 or so. With its main ingredient being sodium bisulfate, when some people didn’t follow directions and mixed it with chlorine bleach (drain cleaners like Liquid-Plumr or Drano), it created chlorine gas, which can be fatal.
