Green Coke bottles had the bottom embossed with the name of the city where new bottles were first bottled. It was always exciting (for me) to look at the bottom, although most remained local. When I traveled, I always took several as far as I could ond left Baton Rouge bottles in faraway return racks.
i remember when mexican jumping beans were sold in convenience stores for a quarter. they came is small plastic boxes with clear acrylic lids and would jump faster when your hand warmed up the box.

boy does that bring back memories. When in college, we had a bottle from almost every state. Missing 3 as I recall. Turned them in for a 5cent/each deposit refund at the end of the term.
Have not read all 1015 pages...but, having been raised during "formative years" by grandparents, I remember helping do laundry with a wringer washer & 2 galvanized tubs. Clothes in wash water put through a platen wringer to squeeze out water. clothes dropped from wringer into tub of rinse water. Repeat. Hang outside on clothesline. My granny was rinsing laundry twice before it was a thing. Filling & emptying the washer & tubs was the hardest part.
I am still hand winding some of my watches. They still exist and so the tourbillon watches.
My non-digital watch requires the flick of the wrist to wind. I received in in 2011 as a 25th anniversary present from the firm that, in morphed form I still work for.

When I was in college, a coke from a machine was only 5c, and it was expected as a courtesy that you put rour empty in the adjacent rack. As I recall, the green bottle was only 7 oz. In Louisiana. the dime was considered a nuisance coin and rarely seen.
Also, I remember in those, a lot of things were expected as a courtesy.
