Not really a product but I miss when dateline was just an hour long

What about you?



I’m fairly old and there is nothing I miss in terms of consumer items. I feel like there are so many choices now.

However I miss appliances and cars being made to last longer.

I miss garden hoses being made with brass fittings as the new cheap alloy ones bond like glue with brass garden taps.

There’s a cedar rose blush from Lancôme, any chance that’s the one you were looking for? https://www.nordstrom.com/s/lancome-lancme-blush-subtil-oil-free-powder-blush/2786548?color=208+CEDAR+ROSE&size=one+size&utm_content=33817189575&utm_term=pla-820545444131&utm_channel=low_nd_shopping_standard&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=662927185&adpos=&creative=145518892747&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&acctid=21700000001689570&dskeywordid=92700049880517423&lid=92700049880517423&ds_s_kwgid=58700005470158456&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000007631122&dsproductgroupid=820545444131&product_id=10413744&merchid=1243147&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&locationid=9008151&targetid=pla-820545444131&campaignid=662927185&adgroupid=33817189575&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD8eAEmOSWHCLC0gW-1EMNCakciIt&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjY64BhCaARIsAIfc7Yadtkqv0msS2ayB5ueY4gf5Uh0qzjsI2_h2AXUgfDND0uyF0TGNljoaAhAFEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

You're a marketer's dream, poster.

Glaceau water has always been produced by distillation, it was never from glaciers.

Nobody is harvesting glacier water for bottled water in the USA - Asia yes, but not here. The only glaciers that exist in the USA are on federally protected lands not open to such industry.

After they distill the water, they add back minerals for flavor which are depleted by distillation. The minerals give the water its taste. Perhaps Glaceau has changed the formula of minerals added back in and that's what you perceive. But the water has always been distilled.



I’m pretty sure you’re wrong, but I also don’t remember the purported original source. I’m not assuming, though — as you are doing — that the original source was in the US. Yes, I’m old enough to remember when Perrier — imported from France — and San Pellegrino were a big deal, and glass bottles of chinotto were a sophisticated treat. This was many many years ago. It was even better than Icelandic — which I really like now.




To add: I’m talking: before it was called SmartWater and before Coca Cola acquired the brand. I’m actually curious now, and want to see what history I can find that hasn’t been overshadowed by Coca Cola’s marketing efforts.
