nope, not another Scientology thread! anyone seen these on the streets or in the cantinas? allegedly good for hangovers or testing your manliness!
I remember as a boy seeing them in arizona but never seen one down here.

Use to have em at Disneyland Main Street Arcade in the 70's. After a certain point you couldn't let go. Looks like this one though you could put up to the temples, that would probably get rid of that hangover.

Hussongs. Get the hangover then cure it all in one visit!

If your travel take you to Rosarito, and Puerto Nuevo, "TOQUES" is the song word for weed.

..not only those places but all over Mexico: everyone knows a "toque" is a joint... and when in trouble (cops) they are used (electrical ones that is) to spark up the family jewels to encourage the "truth" out of some poor devil...
