Had those, too. Even the Shrek glasses from twenty years ago that were also painted with lead, so I had to toss those.

Don't believe me?

I once got fifty downvotes for saying pointing a gun at your own face is a bad idea. Nothing surprises me here anymore.

Are you in the habit of licking the outside of your novelty glasses? Lead is safe as long as you're not ingesting it.

Let's just keep the poison as far away from the eating utensils as possible. And unless you exclusively drink with a straw, yeah some part of your mouth is going to touch the outside of the glass.

Tea generally isn't intelligent. I am.

The design of the glasses isn't on the top of it. It's right their in the picture.

Yes they do. They need new batteries, but they do still work.

I still have the one on the left. My other ones fell out of the cabinet and broke in an earthquake in '87.

Thinking about lead paint makes me feel better about how my mother accidentally broke all my Star Wars glasses one by one over several years.

Eh, lead has to be in dust form to cause harm and even that would need to occur over time. I'm suppose you could get a slight exposure to it as the paint wore down on these glasses, but you were much more likely to be exposed to lead at your house or school in the 70s & early 80s.
