Good for you - collector’s items. Only thing we still have is an original Aunt Jemimah syrup bottle. My kids loved that syrup. And, of course, I have all my mom’s Tupperwear containers which I still use.

It’s funny that Coke came in “green” glass bottles, we paid a deposit and always returned them. Best kind of recycling and we were way ahead of our time but didn’t refer to it in those terms. We also used cloth diapers for our babies. Interesting that the generation following us decided to abandon all of this and go to plastic everything and now they don’t know what to do about all the plastic they had to have. Just dumb, dumb!

Exactly, also our milk I remember having Milk and Eggs delivered to our doorstep. The milk came in glass bottles. Now I can see having plastics especially in an Earthquake prone state like California. There needs to be shelves that can prevent items from falling out.

Yeah, when I saw the 2 Coke Bottle I was thinking of tossing it out since they were empty but I had to rethink how fond memories of a time that made sense and life was simple.
