When x-ray technology was brought to shoe stores, it wasn't exactly a perfect fit. #HazardousHistory #HazardousHistory HenryWinkler Subscribe for more from The HISTORY Channel: http://histv.co/SubscribeHistoryYT Check out exclusive The HISTORY Channel content: History Newsletter - www.history.com/newsletter Website - http://www.history.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/History Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/history TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@history Hosted by the iconic Henry Winkler, each 60-minute episode of this nostalgia-drenched series tells the stories of the things we did—for fun, for money, or out of plain boredom—that you can’t do anymore. Pastimes, practices, and products that were once allowed—even encouraged—which you will never see again in modern America. There was a time, not long ago, when doctors would actually recommend smoking, and when we stored our food in toxic refrigerators, and unknowingly played with radioactive toys, flew down slides that ripped our skin off, and decorated our Christmas tree with ornaments made from asbestos. Fast-paced, informative, and a little bit scary – from perilous playgrounds to precarious products, it’s a running cavalcade of the most exciting, reckless, unsupervised tales of Americana in our history.
