Mr. Yuk

Today is the birthday of "Mr. Yuk".  The brainchild of Dr. Dick Moriarty in 1971 Mr. Yuk has been an effective deterrent for generations of children.  Mr. Yuk is also a tremendous awareness tool.  Who doesn't equate Mr. Yuk with a poison center?  The copyright for Mr. Yuk is owned by the Pittsburgh Poison Center but the stickers are widely available.  You only have to call your local poison center (1-800-222-1222). 

Thank you and Happy Birthday Mr. Yuk!

    Dear Mr. Yuk,
    I apply you liberally to all harmful products in my home. You have helped save my life on many occasions. I'm in your debt forever!
    With sincere regards,
    Your biggest fan
