    I’m wondering if we’re at the stage where the joke is missed because the average age of users never experienced the CD.

      I’m of the age where I can remember having a load of rewritable cds and DVDs plus those things that supposedly cleared up scratches now those were a scam too.

        Usually the home versions were scams, but there were better quality ones out there that would remove just a little bit of the top layer, making a smooth finish again. Although deep scratches obviously couldn’t be repaired in this case.

            Sometimes it did! I tried it on a disc that was so messed up, I figured out couldn’t make it work any less, and wouldn’t you know, it worked for the first time in a long time. Other times, not so lucky.

              Most toothpaste is slightly abrasive so depending on the scratches it can definitely work as a polish. I’d always steal my dad’s special glass polish and it was basically like toothpaste

        I had one that was a hand crank thing. It actually worked pretty well. Whenever I thought that was it for my Diablo II CD, I would run it though there and Presto: good as new.

        My Xbox 1 also had this weird thing where it sounded like it was fucking eating the CD too. If it got too grumpy we would use the crank and boom: back to teabagging people in Halo.
