I remember my mother using Twinkle, although on decorative items, not cookware. (She had no cookware with copper.) Wright's was her silver polish brand.

Yes indeed - Wright's is THE Best for cleaning silver.

One of my university professors wrote a paper on the physics of Road Runner.

Yep...sometimes cassette players got hungry. LOL
But they weren't as bad as 8-track players!

8-tracks only existed because someone said it couldn't be done and someone else decided to prove them wrong.

Yes, Revere Ware cookware was one of the few copper bottomed cooking pots & pans that really didn't need to have their bottoms polished

I made mac & cheese Friday in a Revere Ware pot. They were well made!

Not quite true; people still do that.

You young kids nowadays doing push starts, learn to use the crank handle, that's the way to get an old engine going.

I miss those days of simplicity...not to mention the "ran for years" part...

My mother had a Sears washer that lasted nearly 25 years with only two minor repairs that I know of.

When I last bought a washer I could have paid more for the "Smart Washer" that would text me when the laundry was ready for the dryer.

Oh, how did anyone know when the washer was done in that terrible era before washers could text you?!?

I'm now imagining that circuit breaking, and sending a deluge of texts at a bad time...

When in college orchestra the professor was out sick and obviously watching TV. He said he was amazed by the use of classical music in cartoons. Um, duh, that's why I'm playing in your orchestra today.
