I had a cut on my finger the other day and (perhaps senility has already arrived?), thought it would be a good idea to put some Bactine on it before applying a BAND-AID (I never knew legally it was all capital letters).
My bride, who maintains the medicine cabinet, assured me we do not have Bactine. And, point in fact, for the length of our marriage (forty-nine years this October, though she says it feels a lot longer (because the Germans use the metric system)), we have never had any. Misty-water colored memories, or so it seems.
That led me to think about all kinds of products that I grew up with, and in many instances, old, that have disappeared, and not just from my medicine cabinet. And I suspect that after you watch this; I will not be alone.
Sears, K-Mart, Blockbuster, and a million or so pieces of the past.
We thought they'd last forever, but they are long gone.
