Funny now that you mentioned that I found 2 large empty Coke bottles from the 60’s. That is when Coke was really Coke. I decided to keep them for nostalgic reasons next to my Partridge Family metal lunch box. =)
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!
