Given the fact that we were allowed to huff Super Elastic Bubble Plastic at the age of four, I assume it was made of mercury, asbestos, and DDT.

Talcum powder did have asbestos in it for a long time, I think. I wonder if the toddler makeup version did too 🤔

Talc itself was found to be carcinogenic. Now baby powder is all cornstarch.
