Lemonade, Cottage Cheese, Chocolate milk...great stuff! The Young Driver We Liked, Had an Antique Hood's Sarsaparilla Bottle Hanging from his rear view mirror...like this..."His good luck charm!?"...reclaimed on a sandy roadside berm, half burried , yet sticking it's glistening unique Aqua front Embossed beauty above the roadside.Anyway...

So don't let This Bit of Nostalgia pass you by, as they get more expensive and fewer undamaged ones to choose from, with every passing year!
