So how many bottles of white-out do you think it took to cover up "Dominicks" on this sign?
Poor Dominicks. A successful grocery store for nearly 100 years only to be driven into mediocrity by Safeway and ultimately go kaput amid poor sales and amateur video satire.
But hang on. White-out? Is that even a thing anymore? Now that people edit everything on computers, has correction fluid gone extinct? Is it used only by adolescents trying to catch a buzz in their parents' garage?
Nope, apparently it's still a thing. And now I'll leave you with some fun white-out party trivia.
- You know Mike Nesmith, from the Monkees? His mom, Bette, invented white-out in 1951. I wonder which of them made more money in their career, considering that Bette sold the product for a cool $47 million.
- In New Zealand, white-out is called Twink. So if you're in Auckland and a guy comes up to you and says he needs some Twink, don't get the wrong idea. He just needs to cover up something he wrote down wrong. (And get a computer already.)
