2:12 - The original touch-tone buttons of the 60's: just 1-0, before the # and * buttons were added.

[@casualpreparedness2347]

I really enjoy these films you produce. 💯👍👍😎

[@kelliwittmer4814]

I love these films you make ❤️

[@chuckrawlings9518]

And Jerry Mathers as the pharmacist

[@b.t.2796]

That was my first thought when I saw the pharmacist too!

[@tnate6004]

Yeah, maybe the dead guy would still be alive if he hadn't taken advice from a pharmacist that wasn't old enough for a driver's license or see an R rated movie.

[@hoagie1978]

He looks a bit like Kurt Russell.

[@hoagie1978]

The actor playing the husband looks familiar. I want to say he may have been in a TV series in the 70's or 80's.

[@larkatmic]

He looks like a clean cut Brad Pitt to me

[@huwzebediahthomas9193]

Says Dave Richardson in credits.

[@hoagie1978]

@@huwzebediahthomas9193 I tried Googling him and only turn up a younger actor with that name. I also used the name David Richardson. He looks very familiar.

Is it me, or were there an excess of architects and ad executives in the 1960’s?

[@countdown2xstacy]

Architect Mike Brady of the Brady Bunch

[@lisamiller8174]

Filmed in the Maryland suburbs.

[@ProfessorJayTee]

Many nonprescription drugs were quite powerful when I was a kid. Drowsiness used to be a powerful side effect of taking many cough, cold or anti-allergy medicines. I hated taking any of the damned stuff. But some people loved it. (This isn't really a "drug addiction" video, BTW.)

[@bluethunder6801]

Antihistamines for 1

[@mariekatherine5238]

Antihistamines otc are still sleep inducing. People use them to boost prescription benzodiazepines or sleeping pills, or with alcohol. People similarly abuse cough medicine, drinking it like a beverage to get high. Caffeine pills like NoDoz Orin migraine meds are all available otc. OTC doesn’t mean safe you can’t OD or that large amounts are safe. Too many people are just plain stupid.

[@chuckrawlings9518]

You can tell she's worried by the fact she's watching an NBC football broadcast with Curt Gowdy

[@tomservo56954]

And smoking

[@shmalex32]

Traffic fatalities per miles traveled has dropped consistently year after year. In '66, the number was about 5.5 fatalities per 100 million miles traveled. In 2021, the number was 1.33 per 100 million miles. I assume this classic video is the reason why.

[@ericy1005]

Or that cars are designed for safety now? Or that over the counter medicines were stronger back then? Actually, it's probably the video.

[@shmalex32]

@@ericy1005 Lol, exactly ;)

[@Ctrl-XYZ]

>> POST MORTEM” 1966 PRESCRIPTION DRUG ADDICTION & ABUSE Actually this film is about non-prescription, over-the-counter drugs.

[@gingerjedi1980]

wish we still had more of those drowsy medicines that keep getting adjusted to remove the drowsiness. better yet make things all available without scripts. patient can take what he wants.

[@bryanburnap4537]

Curt Gowdy on the call

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

A glimpse of the past , unfortunately man has been addicted to narcotics for hundreds of thousands of years and it will keep on repeating itself until the end of time

[@huwzebediahthomas9193]

How times haven't changed. It's pharmaceutical opioids these days.

[@bradmad8346]

Coke, junk,speed well ok, even booze, but don't mess with cold pills, just a fair warning.

[@publicmail2]

OTC drugs were dangerous then?? I don't think so.

[@Ctrl-XYZ]

Were, not "where." And yes they were -- much more so than today. The "red pills" here are Chlor-Trimeton (Chlorpheniramine), an antihistamine that could cause dizziness and drowsiness.

[@FromSagansStardust]

They weren't dangerous, usless you were doing something you needed to be awake for. The OTC decongestants, antihistamines, nasal sprays & cough syrups were all on the no-fly list!

Green Hornets car
