a few neat finds i got today:


little NOS butter boxes from 1960 at a thrift for 49 cents. they were even still flat when i found them!


and some bottles of "pop" with retro graphics at big lots for 60 cents.
the"Pop Shoppe" has a website that is super cute with an interactive cartoon of woodlandish creatures inside a bottle! there is also a history of the drink, however i fear that the 2012 timeline entry is going to be a repeat of the 1983 one if it being sold at big lots is any clue. i tried the "lime ricky" and it is quite tasty....kinda like maragrita mixer....now there's a thought! what a minute....Zima! that's it! it tastes like a nonalcoholic Zima. are those still being made? just checked and sadly no.  stopped production in 2008... shows how much of a boozer i am not! i am so out of touch, even beyond the world of hooch.

    lol my grandma and I have been cutting out old adds from life magazines she has that are in bad condition. We have a really cool center fold Jiffy.

    I thought they still made Zima I could have swore I saw some at Bevmo but flavored like smirnoff?

    I got a case of these empty bottles of pop at a garage sale. The dealio was that the drugstores had it and you could take your bottles back and refill them with any flavor soda...2 orange, 2 grape, etc. The problem was, people weren't returning the bottles so it go too expensive for the drug stores to carry. A man in Canada bought the rights for the company and sold them already bottled. I saw some in Gettysburg, PA at a little cupcake shop a couple of weeks ago, so I think they might still be in business!

    We had our living room made over by Secrets from a Stylist on HGTV and they left us about 30 of these bottles. I have no idea what to do with them but they are too cute to throw away! (classic hoarder dilemma)
