Flavoured 120 film tabs

[cliveh]

I don’t know if this true, but I understand that at one time, some manufacturers of 120 film put flavours on the tab that you lick and seal the exposed film. Does anybody know if this was true? If so do you think it should be revived and with what flavour?

Simon Galley from Ilford Photo in 2005:

and yes we do put mint into the adhesive, and no we are not going to do any other flavours !

How about putting some LSD flavor in the glue?

That would be a flash back to my early photo years.

How about 120 film tabs with water activated super glue!

I kinda just prefer the ones fuji has, just pull to peel, and press to stick.

 

[benjiboy]

Yes I remember them being peppermint flavour.

 

[tony lockerbie]

Yes, it's true...Agfa films used to have a fresh minty taste...mmm...minty.

 

[Klainmeister]

I want Ilford to start using bacon flavored. Now that will increase film sales!

 

[Richard S. (rich815)]

Ilford definitely has the best tasting film tabs.

True. I have some Agfapan 25 in 120 I'm still working through (yes Agfapan not APX) and it is nice and minty too. That said the Agfa 120 film are the most chemical smelling though...

AP and APX usually have the most likely to be useless by now tabs

I'd love to have 120 or 220 film with LSD tabs - that would sell!

I was very surprised when i licked the tab of an old APX100 roll!

I'd probably get my tongue stuck to it.

Super glue is already water activated... and it was brought to us by EKCo!

You'd get great colors from Tri-X and Pan-F

Damn! You are good! You broke the code!

I prefer the foma tabs, just unpeel them and stick them down, no licking needed

Way too convenient. Remember, we're talking film here...

 

[bsdunek]

Bourbon flavor would be good. Of course after a few rolls I might be a little loopy. Then I would be licking the tabs even before I expose the film. Nah, better not do that.

 

[David Grenet]

Yes, they did have mint flavoured tabs, and if I recall correctly they stopped because some people were allergic to the flavouring.
