So I'm all nice and comfy in bed when suddenly I hear a beep... ... ...beep... ... ...beep... I'm all like WTF? so I reach up for the headboard run my hand on the wall for the lamp cord and follow it to the switch.... beep... ... ...beep... ... ...beep... After my eyes adjusted to the light I looked around and realized it was the Sears Telegames superpong I found at my grandmas house when we were getting ready for the estate sale lady to come through and do an inventory.

I find this odd as the door was shut and the cats were not in the room... Phantom Pong!

How old do you think these batteries are? So nasty... and yet no where near the nastiest batteries I've ever found.

Wow, SEARS... those are 1980's batteries. I guess they do last longer as it says :D

Take a good look inside the battery compartment. The amber looking ooze those old batteries leak is best spread onto toast. A little acidic the first bite or two, but after your tastebuds have been burned off, you'll be used to the flavor. Posted Image
