The movie came out 21 years ago, and I still think of it frequently when I drive. - eviltoast

    That’s how, to this day, I have anxiety performing CPR, even for certification (which is done on a dummy) and pull out the industrial grade draino whenever a drain is even suspected of being clogged.

    Watching The Thing and The Blob before you’re 10, not the best for your mental health.

      If Draino works for you, great. But in case anyone is reading this and has an experience like mine where Draino never seems to fix clogs for long, especially in showers/bathtubs: try Green Gobbler. It’s non-caustic, so easier on your pipes, and it breaks down clogs using enzymes to break up organic material. In my experience it’s much more effective than Draino.

        I think someone in the earlier movies loses their wedding ring down the drain and reaches in to grab it and is relieved of their forearm in a rather gruesome scene. It was like the 2 seconds I saw of the movie as a kid and it instilled a healthy fear of garbage disposals every since.
