Pictures of rockets in unusual forms/places 😁

[KenECoyote]

Being a rocket-obsessed individual, I often spot rockets in unusual places or forms when I go out (or others point them out to me). Lets see what you guys have spotted!



Rocket hamper at Aldi's! (Could double as a cat bed too.)

This circa 1957 all-metal rocket coin bank. This one is not mine, but I had the exact same one as a child; it was one of the first toys my parents ever got for me. It was *really* heavy.

Saw these adjacent to the lobby of a motel in Columbus a few years back when I was doing recruiting for my employer.

I'm thinkin' that I'm not the only one who thinks, "Mate, none of these are unusual - just good clean fun."

I’d say this is pretty unusual. It’s from a t-shirt I saw for sale on the internet. The caption on the shirt, which didn’t copy over below, says “It’s not rocket surgery.”

If you have uploaded your photos to Amazon Photos, Google Photos, or some similar service, you can search for "rocket" and see photos the algorithm thinks contain a rocket.

The most surprising result in my search was a photo of my wife eating a turkey leg at Walt Disney World.

Generally, Amazon Photos did a good job with the search. It did include a few light poles and cell phone towers in the results. And there were a few photos with nothing rocket-like in them (these may have had something rocket related in their filenames or were in a folder with my rocket pictures).

That's how I found the candy machine pic! I was actually searching for one of my rockets in Google Photos with the term "rocket" and some old pics popped up. A few more to follow!

While traveling outside the US, we noticed "Rocket" as an ingredient in some selections in food menus.

In the US, it's commonly referred to as arugula.

Ok well, I watched the new Barbie movie trailer (among many others btw) and thought of this thread precisely at this point:
