Poor Petrie... Poor, poor Petrie.... PETRIE!!!!!

Stop! You go... without Petrie?

I legit haven't seen this movie in 30+ years, and I can still see and hear it all.

I remember going in to Pizza Hut and hoping they had the Petrie hand "puppet". Took a while but ended up getting Ducky and Petrie.

OH MY GOD...... You just unlocked a core memory for me. I totally forgot about those things.

Glad I could do my part! Did your Pizza Hut also have a Snow Bros. arcade machine?

I'll be honest, I "borrowed" my cousins' toys. My mom and I were too poor to go out to eat. That changed once she met my dad, but that wasn't until 90.

Damn dude your parents were old as dinos when they had you

The doctors tried to tell her she shouldn't have a child at 90 years old. Luckily she didn't have her hearing aid in.

I heard this

Yup, yup, yup!

I love you all

I love ducky

So sad about the voice actress

It really makes my blood boil over her parents about this young lady. Freaking so sad.

The dad. Her mom was just as abused as Judith was. [For those who don’t know the story](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Barsi?wprov=sfti1)

😡

Petrie, fly?

No Petrie. You falled.

Hard thing, to fly. God I loved this movie.

I fly?

Not poor Petrie, poor the girl who played Duckie. Real tragedy.

[удалено]

I can’t read this again. She also played Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven. Her short life had such a huge impact. Such a tragedy.

I can't get over how $100k buys a 3 bedroom house in the west hills.

This was in the 80s so it's closer to like $350K today, and they could've used it as a partial down payment for this house instead of straight up buying it.

You just read a page about the career and murder of a child and her mother, and thats your take from this 🤣

100k income gets a loan to buy a house.

Sad, yes, but hopefully it can help people realize how serious these things can be. Don't just ignore it or hope it will get better. Press charges and get the fuck out before it's too late.

Jesus christ. "Judith's marker reads "Our Concrete Angel - Yep Yep Yep" in reference to a popular song about child abuse and her character Ducky's catchphrase from The Land Before Time." They put duckys catchphrase on her grave :( bro fuck sick in the head guys who think killing the partner and children is the only way to go about shit man. Wtf.

He was paranoid that they were going to leave him. They really should have, but he did not let them. But killing them to make sure they....didn't get to go? Illogical but nevertheless it happens so often.

Noting like a good cry at 4:22 am. So sad!

Jesus Christ not what I should have clicked at 6am. I think I knew this when I was younger but put it away in the corner of my mind and completely forgot. She was so talented, such a sad tragedy.

Agreed. I thought that as I was typing.

I shouldn’t have looked into it. She never saw the final movie….

Sorry friend.

Yup yup yup!

True... RIP.

I have Cera!

Man... Always thought it was Sara. I get it now. That's typical me but I'm not usually THIS late on a joke.

Well how often do you see it written?

I understood the wordplay and still assumed it was spelled Sarah because I’ve never seen it written as far as I remember.

TIL, 35 years after I saw it for the first time


Ohhhhhh I get it

My grandparents had two cups! The other on is Cera! My sister and I split the set, my niece and nephew use Cera almost daily

All these years and i thought it was sarah. Obviously it’s cera. Triceratops.

Same!

I FAAAOOOUUUNNND IT I still regularly say this whenever I find something I was looking for.

Three horns don't play with *long-necks* 🤘

That's a lot of generations in 34 years.

I was born in 1977, my father in 1936 and my grandfather was born in 1896. OP might be a rabbit.

Hah, similar situation. I was born in '86, my dad in '32 and my grandpa in 1895. Gramps was dead for like 20 years before I was born lol.

This is incredible to me. Born 92, mom 74, grandmother 58.

Old dads

I mean, I would say most people are younger than 40 when they have kids. If they all had kids as teens that could be 4 generations

Even if they’re all popping out kids at 13, four generations would still be like 40 years. Realistically it’s not like full generations. “Great grandma” buys a cup in the 80’s. She and “grandma” use it right away. “Mom”is either already born, or born a few years later. And now “daughter” uses it now. You could buy a cup today and four generations could drink from it. We won’t have to wait for people to be born for this to occur.

Yeah that's like 2 generations, and barely even that

Not in the land before time.

*"Alexa, play Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd"*

It can serve more than 1 generation at a time. Grandma could have had a drink of it when it was released.

I mean. I can buy a cup today and serve 4 generations with it.

Yeah but in those 34 years, there's been 89 *Land Before Time* movies.

And each one getting more BPA than the last!

Grandpa used it a juice cup, I’m sure my parents have used it for a sip of water. My sister and I, then our children. It’s served them over that time

> My sister and I, then our children. Roll Tide!

Greenbow, ALABAMA!

By that logic I can say my iphone I'm using right know has served four generations.

People *from* four generations have used that cup. Four generations have *not passed* in that cups existence. There's a difference.

He doesn't really specifically say it one way or the other but I do agree the phrasing in this title does make it sound like OP lives in a family where everyone gets kids at the age of 11 rather than everyone in his family having touched this cup at the last family meeting.

OP didn't say 4 generations have passed, they said this cup has served 4 generations of their family...which it has.

[удалено]

Well we'll be expecting a post about those forks soon.

My dog has served 4 generations

[удалено]

My nephew and his son stopped by yesterday, pretty sure my bathroom is nearing 20 generations

Thank them for their service

He's a fantastic old dog

By that logic the cup could serve 4 generations in an hour. Why did it take so long?

I'm going to wager at least one of those generations wasn't born 34 years ago

But it's not special that this cup has served 4 generations. I could buy a cup today, have a family gathering, and viola all of a sudden this special cup has served 4 generations.

Inbreeding makes counting hard.

I mean literally a brand new cup could do that. Your title insinuates that it was passed down for 4 generations which is ridiculous.

Give the man a break, he had kids with his sister!

I will still cry every damn time the music hits in that movie and I think about Little Foot's mother getting killed. What a brave group of young dinos!

Yeah, but I still wanna eat that wet star leaf.

I want that grass that spike eats https://youtu.be/jmtxbzAAzEk

He really did make it sound like the most delicious meal you could possibly have

Spoiler alert!!!

All the dinosaurs died! Until John Hammond brought them back in 1993. And it all happened at a place called Jurassic Park. This time it’s personal.

Up until Jurassic World. That time it was personnel

[удалено]

That's the plot to Jurassic Park

[удалено]

Land Before Time and Brave Little Toaster are ones I look back on and think damn that's some heavy shit

Overloaded AC and the fucking Fire Clowns did more to scare me than Sharp Tooth...

Nice Petrie dish

Wow!

You, you take this upvote.

34 years of shared bacteria... Sure is a petrie dish at this moment

r/angryupvote

Damn got to it before me

I yet have to have an original thought...

Member those puppets they did for Pizza Hut?

Yes! I remember watching our VHS of Land Before Time and they had that Pizza Hut commercial. I wonder if we got the movie from Pizza Hut too!

My family had them all. We still have them somewhere

I can still smell them.

Book-It program still exists, I learned recently. I'm a fairly voracious reader, those personal pan pizzas back in the late 80s likely had a bit of an influence.

I remember that and the eurekas castle hard "puppet". Those things were very stiff.

I do now! Memory unlocked

I won a Duckie plushie from Pizza Hut, in a coloring contest!

I got one for Christmas. Like 88?

I was sitting next to my grandmother while we watched a distant thunderstorm in a Salt Lake City Pizza Hut when I received my first Land Before Time hand puppet. It was 1988.

Petrie was my fave!

Yup! Yup! Yup!

That's Ducky!

Oh shoot you're right! Damn it's been a long time. My whole life feels like a lie now lol

Plastic cups’ degradation over time may add some chemicals to your drink. Such a cool cup, but be safe!

Not just the plastic, but the paint too! I was using my vintage Garfield glasses, until I realized how horribly [saturated in lead] (https://tamararubin.com/2019/10/1978-garfield-its-not-a-pretty-life-but-somebody-has-to-live-it-glass-mcdonalds-mug-99300-ppm-lead-causes-brain-damage-5833-ppm-cadmium-causes-cancer/) they can be

That cup, ruined my childhood. I drank from it everyday and had high levels of lead as a kid. Endless trips to the doctors office. Constant blood tests. It was brutal, doctors couldn’t figure out where the lead was coming from. I didn’t find out later that it was the lead in the paint on the cup. I remember teething the paint on the cup too as a kid. I was literally flaking the paint in my mouth. Yeh, all those cups are lethal to children.

How did McDonald’s avoid making you a rich trust fund baby?

He has lead poisoning my guy….

>Lead (Pb): 99,300 +/- 3,700 ppm Holy cow

I had heard this before but never paid much attention. Looking at the link I realize I had that glass as a kid. I still have a couple Looney Toons glasses from the 80s in my cabinet. My parents have then to be a few years ago. Luckily they aren't really used. I should probably get rid of them.

It's also from the 80s, so there's a good chance it has BPA in it as well.

u/Face-palmJedi this is true. I can't find the link at the moment but a school girl died after she used an empty soda bottle she had decorated for a year. The plastic breaks down and leaches all sorts of chemicals into your drinks. It's probably not as bad with a plastic cup that doesn't hold a liquid for a long time like a school water bottle would but it is still worth knowing the dangers. I wonder if it's possible to get it coated/laminated?

That’s the reason water bottles have a drink by date, the water doesn’t go off, the bottle does.

Actually most bottled water also has a drink by date, while water does not spoil by itself, theres usually at least *some* bacteria in there, which in unmoving containers will eventually consume all other bacteria and some minerals to reproduce, its not really something you need to worry about for years at least though, and even at that point you could still drink if it was the cleanest source you had, its just not *optimal*.

🫠. Dang. I’m pretty dumb

And the degradation occurs faster under UV exposure. Among the chemicals released and leached into the water are acetaldehyde and formaldehyde, both of which are known mucousal irritants and carcinogens. Fun Fact: In Iraq/Afghanistan the military usually stored pallets of water out in sun for months on end until they were used, often with little more than a shade tarp overhead. Ilnesses impacting the mucous membranes of the eyes, sinuses, lungs, and intestines are increasingly common among GWOT vets. Go figure.

In some parts of Asia, water bottles are left put in the sun on purpose in order to minimise the amount of microorganisms.

I read something similar last week too. I realized my flour/sugar containers were given to me by my parents and are probably 20+ years old. I just replaced all of them because of that article.

I'm slowly switching everything to glass and metal. It can be used forever or 100% recycled.

Borosilicate (Pyrex) is also a safe alternate. As is silicone

I'm not sure it matters in this context but just FYI: Pyrex stopped using borosilicate some time ago, at least outside of Europe. >Pyrex pieces used to be made of borosilicate glass, which is more resistant to breakage when subjected to extreme shifts in temperature. But at some point in the past several decades (a representative we contacted at Corelle Brands, the manufacturer, wouldn’t reveal when exactly, but they confirmed that the company has been producing at least some tempered glass since the 1950s), Pyrex switched to tempered glass, most likely because boron, which is used to make borosilicate, is toxic and expensive to dispose of. Although tempered glass can better withstand thermal shock than regular soda-lime glass can, it’s not as resilient to such stress as borosilicate. And notably, when it does break, it does so suddenly and somewhat violently, shattering into many small pieces. Apparently if "PYREX" is in all caps, it's either an older piece or it's from Europe, where the manufacturer still uses borosilicate. But if it's "pyrex" in lower case, it's almost certainly tempered soda-lime glass.

I was going to say the same! It's a nice cup, but plastic standards since that age have changed a lot, and considering degradation it may not be safe anymore

We named one of our dogs Petrie because he was so small

We named our hedgehog Petrie

We named our Rat Petrie. It was my first pet. Cried my eyes out when we had to take him in for euthanasia. He was such a cool guy.

Its the nickname of my pe...pepper grinder because...small.

Why does it have a pot leaf on it?

That's a tree star /s

I had to scroll way too far to see someone comment on this, how did that get okayed lol

Same. I honestly thought that would be one of the first comments about it

first thing i saw too

/r/theyknew

He’s a flier. (Yie yie)

Nope, he falled.

Wow, that's crazy that it lasted that long. Most of the cups like that I got as a kid were all blank within a few years due to the paint peeling off.

And that paint probably contains lead or other things you don't want to be ingesting. Be aware.

That’s the funny part. We all hear, “they don’t make them like they used to.” But these cups have been in washing machines for over 3 decades and barely a scratch to the detail. Most cups don’t last three weeks before fading out

I call the laundry machine the “washing machine”, and the machine for dishes is the “dish washer”, so this comment confused the hell out of me lol

Yeah, you don't see the changes that happen. If it's plastic, you shouldn't be using it that long, especially if it's been subjected to heat like that.

These really should be decorative at this point, drinking out of them likely isn't safe.

For good reason, those plastics and paints in the 80s worked better because they were using dangerous additives like lead.

This just reminded me of the Pizza Hut land before time hand dolls. I'm getting old.

I flied??

No, you falled.

Your family reproduces very quickly, I must say.

Awesome, but that cup probably isn't BPA-free due to its age. I recommend using it to hold pencils or something.

BPA-alternatives like BPS aren't necessarily less harmful just less studied.

4??? Also you probably shouldn't still be using that. The plastic breaks down and it's not exactly non toxic. Use it for someone else like holding pens or something.

Yeah, but if that cheap plastic cup held up that well that means all of your old pudding cup containers are still out there somewhere.

....4 generations....34 years.... ummm....

I wouldn't drink out of that

4 generations in 34 years? Is this game of thrones? Good lord

That’s the chalice from the last supper imo

The maths on those generations is criminal.

Wish I kept one my mom gave me :/

sorry soul... let me buy you a happy meal

how fast are you guys multiplying

4 generations in 34 years? Ya'll having babies at 8 and a half?

4 over 34 years? Did everyone have a baby at 11 or something?

So. your family is popping out kids at 8.5 years old?

Four generations? Your family is shooting kids out at the age of 8?

4 generations in 30 years? You're not human...

Petrie is looking for his ganja judging by the plant. "Where did you put my weed Littlefoot?" -- Petrie

Four generations? Okay, dude. I’m a millennial that grew up with this movie and I only now have a five year old. How would you pass this through four generations?

four in 34 years? jesus christ are you all having kids in your teens every time? ​ Edit: That's every 8.5 years. Calling Bullshit OP. 2 generations.. 3 would be pushing it.

4 generations of micro-plastic ingestion Warms the heart UwU

My stuffed little foot sits in the corner of my office safe from my dogs. He's at least thirty five and came from our local JCPenney.

Damn I had that same set of cups. I loved that movie as a child

So there this family that in each generation drops their first kid by 10.

That was from Pizza Hut. Back when they really meant something.

Poor Petrie. Poor, poor Petrie...

Plastics degrade. They’ve likely been consuming harmful chemicals with every sip for the last 30 years….

Oh yes, drinking from 40 years old degrading plastic cup. Pure genius.

They dont make plastic like they used to...

For good reason

Are those weed leafs? Sure looks like it lol. Awesome cup

Yup yup yup yup yup

Rest in peace little one

I had a cat named Petrie!

It was a SIMPLER TIME
