And now, some levity to balance the somber tone from earlier today.
Here, Francine, don’t drop these. If we return them to the drug store, we’ll get one penny per bottle. Barbara, get up off the floor. Pull yourself together.
Listen, you two, they haven’t invented plastic bottles yet, so we need to recycle every one.
You guys, I really appreciate you inviting me to your Dandruff Awareness Club. Hello, my name is Alice, and I have dry scalp. Cheers!
Donald dear, you know how Enfamil formula has DHA, which supports respiratory health and contributes to the development of a healthy immune system? Well, I don’t care about formula. Coke is it. So there.
Hey, fellas, I just heard that Coke carbonation irritates the stomach, causing the body to pull calcium from the blood to use as an antacid, which makes the blood replenish its supply from the bones, giving us osteoarthritis. Bummer, right? Oh, who cares? It’s 1947, and our life expectancy is only 64. Bottoms up! Ha ha ha!
Guess what would make this Coke even better?
I Don't Get It 
So much in one post, Kerbey. You must have struck the mother load at the latest estate sale. No holding back here.
I love the bottle theme. Glass. Thick. Comforting. Heavy in your hand. Even when you dropped one of those old Coke bottles, it would more likely bounce than break. Chip, maybe.
No wonder most of these people are smiling. The baby is teething on the thick glass and hoping she somehow doesn’t get a hook nose like mom and dad.
And, lastly, what’s up with Sauced 101 class, with the leaning tower of teacher who obviously started making sure his syllabus was correct hours before the class started?

I think that was a requisite class during WWII, to spare you from war depression before Big Pharma invented 100 drugs to make you half-smile and walk around like a zombie. But yeah, it’s weird, especially since “Father” sounds like a priest. And these actually weren’t from an estate sale: they’re all my granddad’s, which he saved from college. He probably won’t ever read them again at this point. 😦 But I’ll just keep bragging on his generation.
P.S. I am really jonesing for a Coke right now.

Nah. I am not anti-Coke. I just prefer the taste of Diet Peps over Diet Coke. Don’t be a hater, please, Kerbey.

Okay, it’s a free country. I should be remembering our soldiers died to give us freedom, right? You enjoy that Diet Pepsi sans sugar.

The sans sugar thing is illness-based, believe me on that one.

It seems ever since the plastic bottle was invented, recycling is needed now more than ever.

Cheaper = copious = left everywhere = bad for the environment. In a connected sense, you are correct.

Coke and a smile. What an eclectic ride this post is. From glass bottles to baby formula, with giant dandruff and alcohol thrown in for good measure. I don’t know why they stopped returnable bottles. I would think that re using the glass bottles would be more efficient than making new ones. I think “Father Jean” is running a bar. Maybe he’s just fund raising for his church. Seventy five cents for a martini? Such a deal.

Yeah, even you can’t find a joint selling martinis that cheap. 🙂 And hey, it’s hard to get people to tithe, so whatever it takes…

eclectic, yes. You’re tackling some big societal issues today.
Coke may not exactly be health food (thought I think it was originally invented as medicine), but the bigger problem is the Super Big Gulps out there. Those cute little 12-ounce bottles–how could they be bad for you?

Exactly. They are precious, and precious is healthy.
