Remember all the videos of people making snowballs & holding torches to them??

What is this white shit falling from the sky?

Did somebody shake up the snow globe?

Perhaps the Tranny lineage can explain the name WINTERS. You have the WIN-T-ers. The T's always WIN, it is part of the T-WIN code, the two in one.

That meme of the box of asbesotos snow is priceless.

"Claim: The snow in the <em>Wizard of Oz</em> was pure asbestos.

Description: A claim circulating in various formats, including a November 2021 Facebook post, alleges that the snow shown in the iconic 1939 film ‘The Wizard of Oz’ was made from ‘pure asbestos’. Most references sourcing the claim pointed to a 2011 blog post or an unsourced IMDb ‘trivia’ page for the film. However, a 2010 CDC series on Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) in film noted that ‘the snow in The Wizard of Oz’ was asbestos sprinkled over the actors’.

Rating: True

Rating Explanation: Broad references to a 1930s retail presence of snow made from asbestos and asbestos-focused sites cautioning about vintage Christmas decor potentially containing asbestos suggest plausibility. However, the exact confirmation of the claim specifically for ‘The Wizard of Oz’ is largely based on an unsourced IMDb ‘trivia’ page and anecdotal mentions in a CDC series on film-related OSH."

Welcome one and all to OZ which is also an American Prison Drama.
