Retronaut posted the above vintage photo circa 1885 of a woman taking snuff. There’s some debate on the Internet as to whether it’s real or ‘shopped, but I’m not sure why it’s so controversial. As “unladylike” as it may seem for that era, snuff was actually considered an aristocratic luxury which separated the upper classes from the tobacco smoking lower classes.

I found another, smiliar photo, dated 1860 on the CWFP website. Maybe they’re just picking their noses and those aren’t snuff boxes they’re holding at all, but “booger holders”?

‘One Potato, Two Potato’ was filmed in 1981 by an anonymous Austrian artist and punk rock musician who reputedly went mad during the shoot and killed the actors and hung himself while film was rolling.

Rumors of ‘One Potato, Two Potato’s’ existence flourished within the snuff underground, but no one had actually seen it. The film suddenly surfaced in December of 2008 on eBay and was quickly snapped up by a mysterious Austrian collector of the bizarre and occult.

Dangerous Minds obtained a copy of the video from black market sources in Turkey and after consulting our legal team have decided to share this controversial film with our audience. Viewer discretion is advised.
