r/70s

Going through some of my late Mother-in-law's stuff we've had in storage since her passing in 2005. Old school corningware corn flower percolator coffee pot. This one is under recall because the spout is actually glued to the pot with heat resistant glue. Although heat resistant, it did fail from time to time. We don't use often at all. Maybe once, twice a year during holidays. More for nostalgia than anything else. Who remembers seeing their parents use a percolator before the Mr. Coffee automatic drip pots came out? My mom had an Oyster electrical percolator pot til the late 70's when the drip ones came out. We still use a basic blue enameled steel percolator when we go camping.

It’s last call for Schlitz, the beer that made Milwaukee famous. The Pabst Brewing Co. has confirmed it is ceasing production of the iconic lager that has quenched the thirst of American beer drinkers for 177 years.

Best orange juice maker ever. My mom passed it on to me like 20 years ago and it still works.
