I don't see how arcades can make money on a game these days when it runs $3 or $4 a pop. There's a certain price point where nobody is going to risk not enjoying it. Keep them all super cheap and people will happily play them all day, dropping way more money otherwise.

I was smarter than most kids. Find something Mom's older brother gave me as a gift. Most things he gave me as a kid used batteries. Find one of said items that took batteries that most people wouldn't realize it took batteries to become MORE useful and use the battery compartment as a weed stash.
Said uncle was VERY FOND of giving me items with AM radios integrated. About 5 years after you could listen to any sort of teen-friendly music on the AM band. Unlike my older brother, I NEVER got caught with weed. Because Mom was afraid of the garbage men thinking we were druggies she KEPT all my brother's weed, paraphernalia, porno mags and rubbers in a pillowcase atop a shelf in my folks' closet.

Those metal boxes are just another reminder of how things have gotten shittier in the last few decades.
Like, back then they were willing to use a metal box for bandages even though cardboard was cheaper. They probably did it because it was better, and differentiated their product. But at some point, that stopped being important and they went to the cheapest option.
There's so many examples of this across every industry.

It also shows how wasteful or unnecessary we used to be, after the first container why do I want more of them? They didn't also sell refill packs in cheaper packaging. I know I could use them for other purposes but I'm sure a lot of them just went into the trash.

u/MeanEYE 2d ago
Metal can be recycled, paper on the other hand shouldn't. Metal can be reused easily for any other purpose at a cost of remelting it. Paper on the other hand requires a lot of chemical treatments that then again require appropriate disposal. Both materials would need to be delivered to recycling, but paper being light and cheap makes it less efficient to deliver.
Simply put, paper ends up being cheaper and more environmentally friendly to just not recycle. It biodegrades easily and destruction of old stimulates planting new trees.

I'm the opposite. My mind must be in the 80s while my body is mid 40s. I love old stuff, my home is a time capsule to the 70s, and I hate everything modern. Everyone makes remarks 'you're too young to like x' and I still have awkward moments where I talk about an actor or subject and expect folks to understand. Last time it was 'who the heck was Lassie' from a cousin at Thanksgiving. Blew my mind. I watched every episode of that TV series on Nickelodeon and wasn't around in the 50s at all, but I knew what it was.
I lived old shows growing up. I can name actors and actresses when they're on TV shows and people can't figure out how I'm so well versed in 50s culture. It was basically my childhood where I spent most of my time with my great grandparents.
Made for awkward high school moments more, as everyone was talking Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Seinfeld, but I was trying to discuss Green Acres and Gomer Pyle USMC.

Back in their time, companies used to make things to last (and included schematics inside because working on your own stuff wasn't this alien concept as it is today--dads and granddads taught their kids to work on stuff as it was just normal)
Because companies wanted satisfied customers to spread word of mouth (this was before the internet and Yelp or star ratings) and positive review meant more customers, and then those satisfied customers had kids and grandkids who grew up to be future customers. It was a working system. Back then if a company made crap, they didn't last long and went bankrupt.
Everything is so backwards today, first because companies got bought out by megacorporations and we have less choices and less brands, then they all make things disposable, and somehow the docile customers accept it. Not that we can even 'vote with our wallet' because all of them act the same way. I mean if you need a replacement smartphone, because society dictated a smartphone as necessary lately, and Apple and Android ain't cuttin' it, what? there ain't no third or fourth option left anymore.

I just threw away some bandaids earlier, that were starting to yellow on the paper. (Not from 1989, though, lol). Incidentally, those bandaids are as old as Taylor Swift. 😁

I just got poison ivy and my ma just gave me a glass jar of calamine lotion from 1982. I told her I recognized the bottle from when I was a small child with chicken pox, how did you get another one? Nope, same bottle

Only time I’ve seen metal bandaid containers was at my late grandparents house and they used them to store marbles for different games and one had a sewing kit in it (grandparents didn’t like butter cookies so they had to get creative)

look at that metal container. it's lasted 35 years and it's completely recyclable.

Those metal tins were pretty cool. We used one as a camping first-aid kit long after the original band-aids ran out.

That ain't shit, my grandma still had spices in her cabinet from 1968. That shit was older than my mom.

My grandma still has the metal tin for band-aids, she just fills it with newer band-aids
