blueforce's Journal: Whatever happened to "B" batteries?

Seriously.

AA, AAA, and D are everywhere. C... well, not so much anymore, or so it seems. Perhaps C has fallen out of favor with toy makers. D is definitely the choice of Maglite et al.

So, what ever happened to "A" and "B"??

[Ok, the "Christmas cheer" topic doesn't fit, but then none of the other topics fit either, so what the hey].
