Even Sylvania got into the Disc camera business.  In 1986, they produced
the Disc VR100.  Well, to be honest, they didn't actually produce it.
 It's really just a re-badged, bare-bones, Ansco camera.  Sylvania
had never marketed a camera before, but felt it was an opportunity to make
some money selling something that that actually did produce -- flash bulbs
-- a dying product in 1986.  Most disc camera either opted to include
a built-in flash or left it off completely.  The Disc VR100 picked a
novel route by using a Flip-Flash -- which was about twice as big as
the camera!  Needless to say, it never sold well since the flip-flash
defeated the purpose of having a tiny camera.  Sylvania soon stopped
selling their disc cameras, and not long after that, they stopped making
flash bulbs.
