Regarding the White-wall tires...I have wondered lately why there are NOT any
colors but black for tires now days>>??!! I mean given modern tech stuff
the mfr's should be able to make any colored tire you want??!!

I think you can still get the Taylor Swift edition from Ford.

Johnson & Johnson still produces Band-Aid® brand bandages in metal tins,
but they are now limited-edition collectibles rather than the standard packaging.
While the company discontinued the standard metal tin packaging in 1994 in favor of cardboard boxes,
they have periodically reintroduced the iconic tins for special occasions,
such as the brand's 100th anniversary in 2020 and the 50th anniversary of the "Stuck on You" jingle..

Remember when the usherettes in movie theatres used to wear neat uniforms, and the boys would walk down the aisles selling
peanuts, sweets and ice-creams?

Interesting. To my taste, I much preferred the metal tins.
Well, at least they didn't go to plastic.

I remember the usheres at movie theaters.
We did not have anyone walking around selling things.
You neened to go to the concession stand to get treats, popcorn and drinks.
Once in awhile we would sneek things in.
Bad me.

I too recall ushers in nice theaters in the 1950s, but they've gone the way of the Dodo bird.

I've heard that movie theaters make more money from their concession stands than from their ticket prices. That would explain why the snacks are so expensive-- like at an airport...

And we'd often sneak in a little snack in my wife's purse...

I used to have a lot of records.
I have had several stereo systems also.
But I have never seen one of those Sunkist. Rare maybe.
I would be afraid that thing would scratch my records.

It was passed down to me when my older brothers grew up.
It didn't harm the records, but I ended up with so many records they no longer fit in there!!

I was an usher in the 50s. Great job with lots of benefits. Free popcorn and free passes to give out. Use to guide folks to empty seats with my flashlight and yell at kids to keep their feet off the seat in front of them. I would sneak my gf up to balcony and we would…well you know us teenagers.
