On this date ^ In 1894, one of the earliest motion picture experiments took place at the Thomas Edison studio in West Orange, N.J., as Fred Ott was filmed taking a pinch of snuff and sneezing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9kEDzc2qf4

Wonder what he was snuffing??

Looks like O&G to me!!

well…I heard that back then cocaine was legal and medicinal. He does look a lil pale in the film. Probably a good chance thats what it was. I’m sure Pieter remembers those days all too well…

I like this clip from a blog: More than a century later, the Motion Picture Association of America handed an R rating to “Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze,” citing “pervasive tobacco use.” — Mark Carlson, Herald staff http://heraldnet.com/article/20110107/BLOG08/701079901/-1/NEWS01 pervasive tobacco use :slight_smile:

My bet is that its WE Garrett scotch!!!
