Private Collection: Burger King Happy Meal Frisbee

In the late 1970's fast food chain restaurants put kids toys in their happy meals that were meant to be used outdoors and keep children active.

This is a plastic frisbee the fast food chain Burger King put in their kids happy meals in 1978. It is in a private collection and is being used as a marker disc by the owner in the game of disc golf.

Private Collection: 1930's Listerine Bottle

         Lambert Pharmacal Company purchased the formula for Listerine from Dr. Lister in the 1880's. It has been produced ever since. Lambert Phramacal became Warner - Lambert. Today it is made by Johnson & Johnson. The containers Listerine came in started out as glass bottles with cork stoppers. Later the cork was replaced by rubber stoppers and then threaded tops were used. The glass bottles were replaced by plastic sometime in the 1980's to 1990's.

         This 1930's era Listerine bottle was found by a construction worker when the city street the current owner lives on discovered it after the ground had been dug up during a roadway construction project. This bottle once had a cork stopper which is long gone. The bottle has raised lettering with the name Lambert Pharmacal at the bottom. This Listerine bottle is in the private collection of its current owner in NW Iowa.
