Check out this cheesy, 1960's anti-drug movie titled "Drugs are Like That" The film heavily focuses on a vintage Lego set!

Basically, it's two kids building something out of Lego bricks while talking about drugs, though there are a few additional clips in the movie.



Among the features:



-- A lot more bricks are involved than would have come in a box that size, unless Lego really gave you a bargain back in the day.



-- The lion's share of the Lego bricks are either red or white. Blue, yellow, and black bricks are rare. I think there was at least one clear block.



-- Gears are used, a LOT. These gears are larger than any I've encountered.



-- There's this one brick that appears to contain a motor; it's powered by one of the kids putting two wires in holes in the side.

Do you think they are suggesting lego bricks are addictive?
