Kix cereal once offered ‘Atomic Bomb Ring’ with radioactive material as a promotion?

    It’s totally fine, the ring is probably also made of lead.

      Even while the ring’s effect was still happening, though, kids weren’t really in danger. Alpha radiation can be dangerous when ingested, but it’s also the easiest type of radiation to block — even a sheet of paper is enough, according to the National Institutes of Health.

        Alpha is the weakest, usually stopping on the skin or other thin layer. Gamma goes right through a person. In college, we were warned more about beta emission because beta could enter the body by couldn’t leave in the same way that gamma could.

          Alpha is generally considered the most dangurous, so saying it is the weakest is kinda doing an injustice. The penetration is the weakest, the radiation is the most harmful.

    Apparently it flopped because it didn’t explode like the chemistry kits did, so kids thought it was boring.

      Hey, as a kid I spent a LOT of time trying to make something explode with chemistry sets. Very disapointing.

    Anyone else think this looks like a retro-futuristic adult toy with an extra buzzy feature?
