Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

[LoveMyHats2]

The art of emotional blackmail.

Oh lord, when someone pulls that on me, oh do I ever plot some things out to make them take off and then run for cover! Some folks are real good at trying to pull that routine. A sharp wit and a few comments back, normally puts an end to it.

A good come back to anyone that pulls that on you, is like: O.K. so you helped me do something. Should I put your name on my Kidney Card donation now, or should I wait until the next time I do about a million things for you like I have done in the past? That normally gets a person to clam it up for good.

Tissue dispensers in cars, trash cans in cars, too.

True friends, to paraphrase JFK, ask not what you can do for them, but what they can do for you.

Sounds more like Cicero.

If I could go back in time the first place I'd visit would be Woolworth's (or even Woolco -- there was one right near me when I was growing up). I have such fond memories.

The eternal impression I have of Woolworths is that everything I ever bought there smelled like linseed oil. I suspect they even used it to fry the hamburgers at the lunch counter.

Makes sense.

Not at the ones I was in! I really do miss those stores!

Some have trash cans, usually at work so the car can be kept clean.
At our house we park near the trash cans, so we just clean the car out each evening.

I wondered if the members of FL could do me a little favour. I have started a series on known and lesser known sodas on my blog and need comments and suggestions.

You’ll find the intro post here, the list of already posted sodas here
and the only comment I’ve received till now here

If you’re interested in suggesting sodas, I’m particularly interested in old products preferably still in production, or telling me what you think about the ones listed so far either post a comment on the post about the product or simply send me a mail

This weeks soda is an old classic, Bubble Up, sadly now gone or so deep in 7UPs shadow that it is practically forgotten. If any one of you remember it I would love a comment

I still drink Bubble Up now and then.

I've never had a 'Bubble Up'...but I have had many of Coka Cola's 'Lemon Soda' in the little 5 cent glass bottles years ago.

I recall those from the machines you would "slide" them out after paying the machine that was a chest!
