I remember seeing it in an ad in the newpaper IIRC now, however that
person who showed it to me always read rags like the National
Enquirer, Star, etc., so maybe it was some bogus fluke or even a scam.
I know it wasn't an Easy Bake, it was an "adult" oven, and it said
something like the green rays are so intense and concentrated. I'm
thinking maybe some kind of infra-red deal where the light may have
appeared green for some reason (the military uses IR vision which
appears green). Whatever this is, it must have been nixed right away.
Thanks for the replies. Just curious if anyone else ever heard of
this. If this was during the 70's, I most definately would have been
high ;-)
