Name for an old Camera

So I was trying to remember my first camera. I probably was given it about 25 years ago, it had a disc you put in it for film instead of a roll, it was basically pocket size and had no zoom. Does anyone remember what this camera was?

Sounds like the old Kodak Disc family of cameras.

They had a catchy jingle:

I'm gonna getcha with a Kodak disc,
I'm gonna getcha and I'm not gonna miss!
Not when it's as easy, as easy as this,
I'm gonna getcha with a Kodak disc!

aj986s

AFAIK, Kodak made the only Disc Camera:

Basically 110 Film organized on a disc. I used to have one.

I actually got to use a Kodak Disc in the early 80's before the product was officially launched.

Which would have sounded really impressive if it hadn't died in the marketplace.
