Did your Polaroid film come with the little brush in a tube that smelt of vinegar (or was it elderberries—I forget)?

Not the one I had. When you took a picture it would spit it out the front, and was covered with a black piece of plastic film. You peeled the plastic off and threw it away. I remember the warnings about not touching the developer solution on the plastic as it would do funny things to your skin. I think it took about a minute or two for the picture to fully develop. Pretty cool technology for the time.
