A Month of Ill-Fated Consumer Products #5: Quaaludes

Quaaludes were the sixth biggest selling sedative in the United States in 1972, but they became illegal when people realized that college kids were using them to fuel lots and lots of dull, sleepy, unprotected sex. Also, they probably helped kill Elvis. Quaaludes, I mean.

RATING: South Africa%

    I think Elvis would have had a greater legacy if college kids had killed him.

    Elvis isn't dead. He ran right at me just yesterday on a Dallas crosswalk.
