Let's conduct our own study on how we all got breast cancer
Comments
-
Tomboy - I think Doritos are a definite lol. My mom used to make me clothes too and I wore them as not to hurt her feelings....it’s rough on a preteen being dressed like Boy George before it was cool. The humiliation alone probably caused my BC
-
Hahaaa, true! At least you resembled Boy George! I resembled a skinny nothing!
-
Let's see...
I've cut the tag off a mattress and worn white after Labor Day...
all definite maybes for my bc..
-
LOL Lizabeth, white after Labor Day is a definite cause! Just hope it wasn’t white shoes with parachute pants!
-
Well...crud...I did wear parachute pants! I wish someone would have warned us about the bc risk!!!
-
OKAY, I definitely know those of you who wore the Eighties stuff are younger than I am;
-
-
Lol@mom jeans!
lizabeth, I know really! I remember seeing a headline in the national enquirer years ago ‘hair dryers cause cancer’...think big hair. My preening sealed my doom!
Melissa, either that or we were mature women with very tacky taste! Hold up...does tacky cause cancer
-
New Jersey housewives for me. It must have been all their yelling and drama that caused BC!
And those pants!! Ahhhhh! Too funny!
-
I may have gotten my breast cancer from spending too much time reading about David Cassidy and Donny Osmond in Tiger Beat magazine. We used to save up our money to buy these, read them till they fell apart and put the included posters up on our bedroom walls
-
I ate too many Cheerios for breaksfast as a kid-that darn, round, circular cereal is what did it!!!
-
No, no, it's not the Cheerios. It's the Cap'n Crunch. Did you ever get a look at your poop after you ate the crunch berries? Electric green. That's gotta be csncer, right there.
-
Capecodgirl - Bobby Sherman was cuter.
-
Kid's frozen TV dinners, Hamburger Helper, Spaghettie O's, Tab, and Flinstones push up Pops caused my cancer. Some of them were so toxic, FDA banned them. So happy we evolved as human species - back to caveman basics and eating wholefoods.

-
I didn't eat that stuff. I was a weird kid. I loved stuff like blue cheese and smoked oysters when I was little.
-
Melissa, - LOL@ Bobby Sherman!! Easy come, easy go!
Capecod - I cracked up when you mentioned Tiger Beat...it was like a PSTD flashback..btw Donny was part of my wallpaper!
I think the following line from the Partridge Family’s song ‘Elenor’ was the cause: ‘I think you’re really groovy, let’s go out to a movie’ someone in the lyrics department was scrapping the bottom when they came up with that one!
-
Tiger Beat! Oh my yes. I Had to see EVery issue too, lol.. Indeed Donny, David, Lief ...
Yep that's why... Too much exposure visually... Ha!
-
Oh my goodness. You ladies are hysterical. Much need smiles this morning reading all of these flashback "carcinogens."
I never did wear parachute pants, but totally rocked the big hair and color block shirts and blazers.
David Cassidy, Bobby Sherman, aah the good-ole days.
-
Melissa Dallas- forgot about Bobby Sherman for a minute. He was cute.
Egads007- that is hilarious- scraping the bottom indeed for that lyric.
Alive4Five- just now remembering Leif too. He was so cute
-
I think the radiation from Eric Estrada’s gleaming teeth might have been carcinogenic
-
Egads....👏😂 lol...
-
I think I am catching more cancer just from looking at the picture of his teeth Egads007
-
Capecod - Agree! lol
-
But damn, he was cute
-
Melissa, agreed!
Alive & Capecod, other possibilities include:
The sugar content in Kojack's lollipops
Or the wrinkles in Colombo's trench coat (not to mention the cloud of cigar smoke):
-
Okay, in the "I love older men and bad boys" category, I adored macho men like Robert Mitchum. Can't stand the effete effeminate "girls with hillbilly beards" poplular today.
-
Not sure, but maybe a few years of watching the Monkees with that fabulous hair has something to do with it. Not to say that Kojacks lollipops and Columbo’s Wrinkles had no part in it...
-
Long-haired hippie boys!
-
Long-haired hippy boys!
-
Melissa - If we want to look just a bit further, then yes. Tony Curtis, Dean Martin... Etc...
Estrada recently publicly apologized for his 'glaring' contribution to BC... 😂
