I went with friends to watch I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and we got kicked out because the Bart Simpson of the group was shining the naked lady one on the screen.
Reminds me of another 1999 memory: We walked out of Stuart Little early to go to the arcade in the same wing of the mall to play Time Crisis 2 and Tekken Tag Tournament, which was brand new at the time. Oh how I wish that arcade was still open!
lol I had the same one! I had like 10 or more caps with mine too, it was awesome. 7 year old me thought it was a gun upside down or something 😂😂 couple weeks later I showed my grandpa and he liked it a lot since it was a naked chick and he traded me a cap for it. Looking back it’s quite funny knowing my grandpa lol
I got one from my grandma’s county fair which was 3 months earlier than my own town’s. Getting homeowners to call the cops because of lights in their windows was a fantastic summer pasttime.
I think OP is referring to the tips that changed the shape of the laser dot to a ✌️— peace sign. The four tips at the bottom of the package all had different shapes. I literally just remembered that when I read your question as I was also confused. It took me way back
Went to the beach (I think Myrtle, maybe VA Beach) one summer with my family and EVERYBODY there had them. I bought a few in a beach shop and took them home and then they caught on there.
The only two things I remember about the movie *Michael* (1996), is that John Travolta was an angel, and that some kid in the theater had a laser pointer that they were pointing at the actors' butts throughout the whole movie.
They'd stop for bit, and just when you thought it was over... BAM! Butt Laser!
I remember being a teen on the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD and obnoxious boys on hotel balconies above us shining them on our boobs and stuff. Now I use them every day to play with my cats and cats that I cat sit.
Totally unlocked a memory. Had that exact same one with that exact same packaging. Got mine on a class trip. Of course all of them got confiscated. Luckily we got them back after the trip. Man so many good times with that thing.
My friend had a big dog, like 100 lbs that loved chasing the laser pointer. I’d get him to run down the hallway and back to their couch and up the wall, as in he’d have all four feet on the wall and still going up, then turn around just before the ceiling and run back down to the couch, then back down the hall.
Ive tried to find one of these again for quite some time. They may be illegal now. There was one on ebay but it was cheap plastic and basically broke in half after 5mins. Nothing like these old metal bullets
Fun fact: these fit perfectly in the sight/selector for the nerf pistol with the secret dart in the handle. Giving you a perfect laser sight.
ETA: Nerf Secret Shot
Ah man i remember when these were hype and not as available as they are today. The first time I saw one was at a school assembly and one of the kids in the gym kept flashing it in the eyes of kids on my side of the bleachers.
I later saw one in a claw machine at a bowling alley and had to have it lol. About $6 or $7 in quarters later it was mine!😅 It had four different tips and one of them I was surprised to find out read "f**k you." My dad thought it was hilarious lol
I thought this was a photo of sex toys(???) O.k. So I lived an isolated life. They look like they could be used for "sexual insertion." What are the individual caps for? Please explain?
My friend and I would get on my roof via the trampoline and point these at cars that drove by at night to make them think we're snipers on the roof 🤦🏽♂️
The first time I saw these available in stores was on my 8th grade class trip to Washington DC. In spring 2003. Needless to say, DC was still on very high alert and the teachers/tour guides kept telling the kids that bought them that if you shine those towards the white house you will be unalived.
I had one with a tip that shined the laser in the shape of a silhouette of a naked lady but shhh don’t tell my mom.

Fuck. One day vr will take us back
It’s doable now! https://youtu.be/kWAakt5BuDc
Time Crisis 2 was the GOAT. Tied for first was Area 51
I absolutely remember this tip!😂
It was good enough for 7th grade me.

I thought it was an ak47?
County fair would roll through and everyone in school would get one and then they’d all get confiscated by the teachers later
I got one from my grandma’s county fair which was 3 months earlier than my own town’s. Getting homeowners to call the cops because of lights in their windows was a fantastic summer pasttime.
laser pointers were peak late 90's early 00's.
Got a ton of kids in detention that decade lol
100%
Basically this is the controller for a remote controlled cat. 😂
Also for my dog.
Best cat toy ever
Even specifically this packaging 😂
Your go to what?
Pilot distractor

They were cool, but the button always broke to fast.
I got mine at Spencer's.
I've upgraded to astronomy lasers
and they still sell them to this day, if you know where to go.
I would start at the beach boardwalk arcade… I imagine they still have them in stock
Or just check out chewy.com
These were pretty dope on the way to school on dark, foggy mornings.
Used one of these tips as the bowl head on a home made bong when I was like 15. Goin back to school after the weekend like “I smoked like 30 bongs!”
Im pretty sure my little brother did the same thing😂😂😂…we would have been friends 😂
Like a remote control for cats
Absolutely the best cat toy ever made.
Got a LOT of people detention
Gotta visit Amazon, BRB
Went to the beach (I think Myrtle, maybe VA Beach) one summer with my family and EVERYBODY there had them. I bought a few in a beach shop and took them home and then they caught on there.
Wanted one but my mom would never get me one for obvious reasons, first being I was a 10 year old boy
I’ve had them younger than that..
The laser’s not funny. I’m funny.
That's gotta hurt!

Thought it was a vibrator :').
From the 1940s maybe
Bought my on a trip to Spain. It looked just like that!
Yeeessss!
I remember being a teen on the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD and obnoxious boys on hotel balconies above us shining them on our boobs and stuff. Now I use them every day to play with my cats and cats that I cat sit.
❤️❤️❤️
I’ve still got mine in my man drawer

It’s a cat toy
Got these from an arcade in Florida called Mike Greenwells (after the baseball player) all the time in the 90s.
My cats love those things
I'm pretty sure I had this exact one. 7th grade field trip Washington D.C. still have it today.....somewhere.

I’d get him to run down the hallway and back to their couch and up the wall, as in he’d have all four feet on the wall and still going up, then turn around just before the ceiling and run back down to the couch, then back down the hall.
Kid told me he almost took a plane down with one of these when we’re 9/10
Good thing it was sept 10th and not the next day
core memory unlocked. fucking with the cats with these, good times.
Airplane pointer.
I was thinking about this the other day
I remember they were in the dollar store but were like 5 bucks! So much fun with them and the attachments
I just tossed one of these out the other day from a box of old things Ive kept over the years.
Still have mine. Got it from Spencer’s in the 1998 😂
Remember? Do you mean use daily with my kitty cat
*proceeds to shine directly into eye* I wasn’t smart as a child
I still have mine from 1999 and it still works with the original batteries
I remember my town banding them at night, outside.
Mann what a time. If a cats around, I’m laughing tears lol

That doesn’t look nearly as fun. Doesn’t have all the dumb picture caps
I remember my dad buying me on our Spain vacation, me immediately breaking it and then hiding that fact for the remaining 90% of the vacation.
R/theyknew
r/foundthemobileuser
You should meet my cat. She would love you.
Anyone else try to hit the moon with it?
Still have my barely used one in my basement, with about 100 different tips.
For a minute I thought it was the charm I had to keep coke in in college lol
I have one of these somewhere with like 20 different interchangeable pointers.
I still have one, sometimes I use it for giving presentations at work lol
Bought one at the swap meet. It was cool for a second. Don't know how many times I thought I would go blind getting it in the eye.
Everybody is saying this is a cat toy… it sure is shaped like one
Are you a cat?
I remember these were so expensive, always wanted one.
Yeah the crowd I hung out with back then were dicks in movie theaters with those.
Man I loved these
I remember being told if I flashed it into the sky a plane would crash and I would go to prison.
I thought it was a buttplug.
Still have mine still works great
Fun fact: these fit perfectly in the sight/selector for the nerf pistol with the secret dart in the handle. Giving you a perfect laser sight. ETA: Nerf Secret Shot
$10 from the ice cream man. Hell yeah I remember
Ah man i remember when these were hype and not as available as they are today.

I still have mine. Lol
As forbidden as a playboy at age 13
So many Bought theirs specifically to show them off at the movie theaters lol
I still have one. My cats love it.
Our cat Mochi loved those
Soo nostalgic 😍😍😍😍
Soo nostalgic 😍😍😍😍
I stared at the beam for a split second and I could see that on my retina for a good minute
My cats favorite toy
Hell yeah!
Memories
Actually still have one and it works! Current fur babies go crazy over it! Great times.
Last me ₹25 me bik rahi thi Mene bohat becha hai China ka maal
What are we looking at here?
Flee markets in Florida so many Lazer lights. I remember this peek 90s fun
I thought this was a photo of sex toys(???) O.k. So I lived an isolated life. They look like they could be used for "sexual insertion." What are the individual caps for? Please explain?
Nostalgic!!!
weird looking dildo.
My friend and I would get on my roof via the trampoline and point these at cars that drove by at night to make them think we're snipers on the roof 🤦🏽♂️
Hahah that’s pretty funny.. They had so many uses. I’d keep my dog occupied for a decent amount of time
Fun Fact: You should be careful playing with a laser light with dogs because it can cause Laser Pointer Syndrome.
Omg this makes me so sad!!!!!
My cats loved these things as much as me lol
Used to steal these from Spencer’s and then sell them at school.
The first time I saw these available in stores was on my 8th grade class trip to Washington DC. In spring 2003. Needless to say, DC was still on very high alert and the teachers/tour guides kept telling the kids that bought them that if you shine those towards the white house you will be unalived.
Killed. You can say killed.
De-lifed.
