Older Than Dirt Quiz
My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house and he
brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with
a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no
idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew
it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to "sprinkle" clothes
with because we didn't have steam irons.
Man, I am old.
