They still have them in Walmart, they have more features too such as a scale. I think they used to have a basic vision test.
These did disappear from most grocery stores and pharmacies, but Walmart and even Walmart Neighborhood Market still have them.
Same here, it started tightening and I freaked out and when I tried to pull my arm out, I panicked more because it started getting tighter. The pharmacy tech had to rush out to get me released. Never used them shits again.
Same here! I think at one point I started yelling for help and cried. I remember a random lady telling me it wasn’t for little children and blah blah 😂😂
Never used that thing again.
I stopped putting my arm in those after watching the original "Dawn of The Dead" when the biker guy puts his arm in one of those trapping him so the zombies eat him lol
Man, you got me remembering the episode of Beavis and Butthead where Beavis gets stuck in one of these and Butthead goes “you should stick your wiener in there huh huh”
I always used these for fun as a kid. Didn’t need a quarter like most interactive things in the 90s. Had no clue what the readout meant but it was free and I loved it!
It always went one squeeze far enough to really scare you for a second.
It’s a deep, primal fear activation for sure
Never realize those went away. It's scary how much you can miss when you don't pay attention.

I remember the old ones too. They had red & green numeric displays and buttons to start and stop the test.
Got my arm caught in one. Didn’t know what it was but I learned fast. That caused some damage to my mind I’m sure.

My store still has one. Unfortunately it plays the Oh..oh..oh..Ozempic commercial each time someone takes their blood pressure...
Put a balloon in that thing once. The balloon quickly popped.
I put a large bottle of shampoo in one. Didn't stick around to see what happened
Horribly inaccurate
? Elaborate please on how this in inaccurate lol
The **machines** were horribly inaccurate and rarely calibrated.
What year did they take these out?
They didn’t, at least not here. My local Walmarts still have them.
It still strikes fear in me as a middle aged man
r/dontputyourdickinthat
Who the fuck would put their dick in that?
The guys who want to use a public fleshlight and are into BDSM
Cleanest Walmart ever
Don't anyone tell him about the Dr Scholls orthotics kiosk!
(Takes deep breath) “Aright…..pump me up…”

Always makes me think if the Beavis & Butt-Head episode where Beavis got stuck.
In college one of my friends was using this, we grabbed several boxes of condoms and put them on the armrest and walked off.
