The movie came out 21 years ago, and I still think of it frequently when I drive.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That's how, to this day, I have anxiety performing CPR, even for certification (which is done on a dummy) and pull out the industrial grade draino whenever a drain is even suspected of being clogged.
Watching The Thing and The Blob before you're 10, not the best for your mental health.
If Draino works for you, great. But in case anyone is reading this and has an experience like mine where Draino never seems to fix clogs for long, especially in showers/bathtubs: try Green Gobbler. It's non-caustic, so easier on your pipes, and it breaks down clogs using enzymes to break up organic material. In my experience it's much more effective than Draino.
Draino is NOT for clearing airways!
I must be forgetting a scene...
I think someone in the earlier movies loses their wedding ring down the drain and reaches in to grab it and is relieved of their forearm in a rather gruesome scene. It was like the 2 seconds I saw of the movie as a kid and it instilled a healthy fear of garbage disposals every since.
I've never even seen those movies, but replacing the garbage disposal with a normal P-trap was one of the first things I did when I bought my house. I'm not even particularly scared of them; I just think they're kinda gross.
Why are they gross?
It just seems like the rubber flaps at the top are often kinda grimy.
Yeah they pop out and you clean them...
I mentioned the movies that gave me those particular movie induced phobia.
