Falstaff beer lasted 'til 2005.
Black Dallas Malt Liquor did not.
It was gone before pop-tops.

I have no idea. I only saw it the one time. I also thought it odd that they had a Coca Cola bottling plant there. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

"It's got wheat flour, cracked wheat, soya meal, molasso, pure honey, and corn flour." Dad used to get that crap - might as well have cut up little squares of particle board.

Miles,
Humble Oil & Refining Co. began life in 1911 in Humble, Texas. It was later acquired by Standard of New Jersey. Hope this clears up the Humble /Standard confusion. It then became Esso, then Exxon, which is now Exxon Mobil.
Have a good day, Jim

Grilled cheese sandwiches, or PBJ's, or peanut butter and honey sandwiches were real good made with said 'little squares of particle board'.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Not so much a brand but I miss 100 watt light bulbs. Be of good cheer. 60 watt LED bulbs are down to $4.50, and 100 watt bulbs are now available. Every time we get a chance, we replace old CFL and incandescent bulbs with LEDs. In 20 years, do you think there will be another thread about how much we miss CFLs? Probably not. Many used those old style bulbs as much for the heat as for the light, so it won't matter how low LED prices fall, they can't DO what incandescent bulbs could
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

Incandescent light bulbs made in the USA, far longer lasting than the crap imported from Mexico today.

thats right a 100w bulb kept the water from freezing in the pump house. If the light couldnt be seen through the crack you changed the bulb. Many folks kept one in the bathroom or under the counter for the same reason. Too cheap for the led lamps but the cfl's suck. The ones i bought didnt last long enough to justify the cost and the light was not satisfactory.

I just bought a box of .30/06 180-grain Bronze Points last year. There still must be some in the supply chain.

They got bought out but are somewhat still around as S&H Greenpoint rewards, instead of stamps you get a refillable card.
Otto is my co-pilot.

Several of the old popular brand names that were well known back in the day but then disappeared are popping up again, especially in entertainment electronics and household appliances, although the original companies are no longer in business and haven't been for years.

We damn near lost Twinkies. What a tragedy that would have been. Suckers were buying them on ebay at a hundred bucks a box.
