Want to have a Fling?
Eastman Kodak's modern One Time Disposable Single Use camera, was introduced in 1987. The Fling was based on 110 film. Kodak released a 35 mm version in 1988, and in 1989 renamed the 35 mm version the FunSaver. That same year they discontinued the 110 Fling. Although we think of the One Time Disposable Single Use cameras as a modern product, it really goes back to 1888 when Kodak introduced "the Kodak" and coined the phrase, “You press the button, we do the rest.” It is truly amazing how that camera and Eastman Kodak changed how we use photography today. More on this and and why I have attached such a long name to it on a future Film Photography Project Podcast. I'll update with a link when it airs.
