<img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> How did we get from Elastoplast bandaids to bear spray?

Anyway, my mother used Elastoplast when I was a boy and I have used it ever since; I think it's probably among the best on the market. The biggest drawback IMO is that it's quite painful to remove; in a survival situation, though, I consider being difficult to remove a definite plus <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
