Actually, there was a lot more to worry about technically.
People just weren't over connected so you were ignorant to them. Perfect example of ignorance is bliss.
However, people today think there's a child murderer on every corner and gluten kills you. Its the fricking worst sensationalist time to ever live.

I was born in 75. Evidently news travelled slow down the bayou because I used to sell candy in school and this rumor killed my pop rock sales. This was circa 83.
How about Garbage Pail kids equating to Satanist.

Not sure, but everyone I knew was glued to the radio to try and here that chick scream in the background. Its funny to think about how fast stuff like that spread back then when we had no social media to get the story out...

The version in my neck of the woods was that McDonald's hamburger meat was kangaroo.
I think you would be surprised how much kangaroo beef has been sold in the US.
Early 1980s saw a ton of horse and roo meat mislabeled as beef and then imported.
That's not an urban legend

Surely someone here knows of a cousin's friend who got HIV at Mardi gras when that weird guy stuck a needle in their back with a post it note.
And everyone knows that girl whose cousin was babysitting and found the midget schizophrenic clown in the attic who had been living there.
