Sure do.

To request a free sheet of Mr. Yuk stickers, please send a self-addressed stamped business size envelope to:

Mr. Yuk Pittsburgh Poison Center 200 Lothrop Street PFG 01-01-01 Pittsburgh, PA 15213

I wonder if they have the National number (1-800-222-1222) or the Pittsburgh Poison Control number (412-681-6669). I have a bunch with the local number.

In EMT school our instructor taught us the local number with a mnemonic; "They're Sick, they Ate One, it made them so Sick Sick Sick they flipped."

Learned that in 1998. Never used it, still remember it.

You all had useful stuff. I just remember the DARE posterboard with a bunch of pills stuck to it and thinking "Wow, they look like candy, I want one"

How do you send a self addressed envelope? A bigger envelope?

….? You’ve never had to do this. Simply address an envelope to yourself and fold it into another envelope, or a larger one!

How often do you need to do this?

The only reason I can think of to get something free from a business that can fit inside an envelope.

Anything else, you'd just pay extra for shipping and handling.

Once or twice a year, generally for a mail in contest, or some legal crap, etc etc

When you pay property taxes, they ask you to do this (or at least they used to) so that they can send a receipt back. I never did it, because I didn't care enough to spend the time/money on it for the receipt, but they always sent a receipt back anyway in an envelope I didn't have to address with a stamp I didn't have to buy.

At work, relatively often. At home, almost never since the 90s ended. Send an SASE to....

This is awesome news, although I had to check the address to make sure I'm not being trolled. It is the internet after all.
