Vintage things you're happy are still here.

[PoohBang]

I wanted to see what things people here are glad are still around that are vintage.

I'm glad soda and beer still come in bottles with caps that have to be pried off.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Same here with the sodas in glass bottles made with real sugar & not HFCS.

I'm glad The Lounge is here.

Lizzie, speaking of Golden Era legislation that still stands, I'll add The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, which was introduced in 1957 to ensure that all Australians have affordable and reliable access to medicine. We also have universal heath care, but that wasn't introduced until 1975.

I will second that for the Soda! The taste is just not the same with a can.

 

[LoveMyHats2]

Me!

I hope you are here for a long time, too, Sir!

Can we say, Lucky Strikes?

 

[Gregg Axley]

Yeah there is a debate I'm sure about this one, but Coke in it's original form with sugar aka Mexican Coke.
I'll agree with you Travis, I have had the same barber since 1983 and he still cuts hair the old way. This includes straight razor for shaving, hot towels, and an array of aftershaves your "family hairstyle" place just doesn't carry.
On that note, I'll add D.R. Harris products, especially their soap and aftershave lotions. 200 years and still going.

 

[Travis Lee Johnston]

Was always more of a Camel guy. Less harsh and don't fall apart like Lucky's

Mexican Coke is where it's at. Only surtain places sell it here, and it's not cheap oddly enough.
