    Quoted from Cheddar:

    They may be delivering Uv light but what we were expecting was like the old blacklights we used to get at Spencers.

    +1.

    Spencer Gifts!

    The original black-light mecca!

    They sold a lot toilet-humor gag gifts, too - turds and the like. Oh, and "adult" toys! For a seven-year-old, it was a thrill a minute!

    The UV-light poster room was always chock full of "velvet" posters - all of which really popped when exposed to the UV light. Like one respondent here, the idea was to make your own UV-light den at home, and then line the walls with velvet posters. Velvet posters typically featured designs in neon set against ample black velvet. Many of the posters for sale in SG weren't UV-light reactive at all, but they were consistently in bad taste.

    If I had to describe an example of the quintessential SG poster, it would be the image of a toilet supplemented with a contraption that wiped your ass while you pedaled. My dad was always mortified when he'd have to come into SG to gather me up. He never forbade me to go in there though. I was surprised to learn that SG is still a beacon of bad taste nationwide. Imagine! Rubber turds will always be in fashion I guess.
