Oh gosh. I remember MD 20/20. It was made by Mogen David (the "MD"). We all called it Mad Dog 20/20. And "20/20" was what you could not see after drinking it.

the most we had was phone call and pages (before drug dealers took over pagers, tons of people around here had them) that the quarries were blasting. We had a tragic incident where a lady was out mowing and didnt get the page. a chunk of stone happened to fly almost a mile and croaked her off her riding mower. Im guessing it didnt matter what that lady did that day, it was her last regardless.There are three sheds at one of our quarries, all us youth always knew that one of the sheds had the boomsticks, I know that there were a lot of plans hatched (usually with MD 20/20 or Mickeys) to appropriate the goods, but none came to fruition. I assume obituaries would have been in order had anybody actually acted on the plans.

I saw those commercials on TV in NW Indiana / the Chicagoland area.

You should read up on our local celebrity true life detective Jay J. Armes...his hands were blown off by those left by railroad tracks...He rescued Marlon Brando's son who was kidnapped using Cheater Bella , a Vietnam era helicopter pilot I believe from Baja California...he also started as an assassin on Hawaii Five 0...He was a pretty good county commissioner...

--When I was young they had posters at grade school showing us what blasting caps looked like and to tell a grup if we saw any. I think there may have been tv commercials too. Just piqued my interest. Maybe it was due to growing up in logging country in Oregon. Did they do this in other places too?I found the lock open on an explosives locker at the county gravel pit and played with caps and sticks of dynamite. I never had the guts to actually try to set it off but I took them out and messed with them.Couple of farm kids in the area got into their dads caps and it killed one of them and blinded the other.I wonder when this ceased to be a thing?The big display boards they brought into JR High showing all the different kinds of drugs piqued my interest too...
