I had forgotten them. My dad would send me to buy him some Marlboro's when we went to Pizza Hut. I still have a XMAS ornament of Santa made out of a pull-tab from a beer. I still hang it on our tree 30 years later. We used a pull-tab and pulled a cotton ball for the beard and those googly eyes. |

Yeah, I remember this too big time, although he usually bought cartons of unfiltered Lucky Strikes from High's or Peoples. He died of lung cancer by the way. |

Hey I let my kid pick out a beer for me often-- he's pretty good at opening them too (but we're still working on his cocktail skills) |

Not only did I get the beer from the fridge for her, but she taught me how to pour it into a glass so there would be very little foam on the top. Of course, she now denies teaching me this "life skill." |

My parents would do this all the time...only it was not unusual for them to be in the store/mall for hours shopping. |
