Good Ole Wile E. Coyote (Thank You Deano Corrigan, Facebook)

Actually, we WERE idiots back then

One popular brand of cleaner that looked like some kind of lime drink had to be recalled and relabeled because people were knocking it down and ending in the ER of course

WHAT IS IMPORTANT of course, is the fact that "The Road Runner" is not really about the Road Runner-- the protagonist is really the ever hopeful Wile E. Coyote, who goes from one defeat to another but never gives up no matter what horrible fates the Warner Bros. cartoon crew assigned to him  (In one self-conscious moment where he is about to go to perdition in some awful way, he holds up a sign that says " Have You No Decency?"
