This talk of rings reminds me - I never hear about the scourge of laundry doers worldwide from 40 years ago - ring around the collar.

@jerry There was the quicksand and also a lot of misplaced concern about playing with abandoned refrigerators
@zcutlip I had completely forgot about that. but you are right
-
I grew up thinking that I was going to have way more problems with quicksand and ring around the collar.
@jerry personally I thought I would have encountered more falling anvils and exploding cigars. I can, in fact, count on one hand the number of falling pianos I've come across (0).

@jerry I also thought that venemous snake wounds in which I would have to lacerate the injured and suck out venom in order to save them would be at least a weekly occurrence in my adult life.

@jerry I think that, much like quicksand, it was very overhyped.
@Lightfighter @jerry I legit once fell into a mud hole that was very much like quick sand while i was out hiking with a friend. Only luck got my hand to something solid before i was fully submerged.
I dont think it'd have been as hard to escape as quick sand supposedly is.
All i got.
Not once have i witnessed ring around the collar. More elusive than quick sand (or.. mud) in my experience.

@jerry Perhaps there is a causal effect at play. The lack of venomous snake wounds accounts for collar ring not being a problem anymore.
Like, running to save people from dying of poison, then holding them down to operate, is a lot of work and would certainly make a normal businessperson perspire, thereby staining the collar of their shirt. Maybe this problem was a lot more common in the 60s and 70s, and advancements in venomous snake management are having the unintended effect of making our shirts cleaner.

@Lightfighter @jerry it was like you see in cartoons by the way. One moment im walking on solid ground, the next im falling through what looked like a solid patch of trail. Crazy.

@jerry I have generally found, that by leaving the ring around my bath I can avoid leaving it around my collar.

@jerry I love that story. Wisk invented it--it was never a thing. And yet, however many years later, I still remember the name of the detergent that resolved that non-problem.

@jerry I never heard of such fears. But being born in the USSR I grew up instead with a fear that Americans were going to nuke us.
"Mama, do you think they'll drop the bomb?.."
