I have that same box of 'Tyne' they're displaying! Its almost a full bottle, too. I will not be using it (obviously) but it would be cool to know if it worked (Seeing they didn't have a clue)

Also, love these hairpins (and others):

So cool!!! Wonder how many people gave themselves a good shock trying to use the electric comb? :confused:
