When you first came across that Peter Pan Sauce bottle and said "that's what happened to him", I immediately pictured sauce made out of Peter Pan. It went very dark very fast lol. Made a lot more sense for Peter Pan to be making the sauce. Love your channel and your family and friends Alex. Take care!

Re the goggles: My dad had a pair of those years ago. He worked for the CPR and wore them during the steam engine era. They were to protect the eyes from flying cinders that would come out of the smoke stack. I suppose these were very early ones because his were smaller and more fitted with a buckled strap.

Hi, a native from Rochester, NY here! Been watching your channel for a while now, so it was neat to hear my city's name pop up in this video 🤣 The official Curtice Brothers company dissolved in 1961, but the Blue Label name lived on here for almost another decade before it faded away. Most places to eat here just use your typical Heinz ketchup now. There's a lot of history in this city beyond Kodak, but many people don't know about it. Great to see it resurface once it a while in videos like these!

Pluto water! I think that was from the fancy spa down in French Lick, Indiana. It was a huge destination place for people from Chicago to come on the train . Musicians were on a platform that would be lowered from the ceiling. Its been restored and is again a big destination resort. While I was at indiana University, Bloomingto IN wed go to French Lick to camp out. Really cool falling apart resort at that time. Drank the Pluto water from the old well. Ugghhh..rotten eggs! The water came from the Pluto natural spring. Resort started in1890. A cute devil was on the logos.

Most were amazed to discover the differences in just about every aspect of life, mainly because the landmass is so enormous. This was also before money was abundant enough to take yearly vacations to other distant destinations, so books and radio were paramount back then.

By Derek Gentile, Berkshire Eagle Staff ADAMS -- When Linda Alibozek Saharczewski was growing up in Adams, the "Orange Squeeze guy" would regularly deliver a case of the sugary, fruity soda to her family's doorstep. "It was a time when you just left the [old, empty] case in the hallway with the money [for the new case of soda] in an envelope," she said. "The Gwozdz family owned the business, and we met most of them when they delivered the soda. They felt like part of the family." "It was delivered to our house in a big, wooden crate," recalled Joe Wotkowicz, another Adams native. "I liked black cherry, birch beer, pineapple and cream soda. All of them, actually. My grandparents drank nothing else.

Wild Strawberry Extract ... we went through a lot of that when I was a kid on a farm in Manitoba. We didn't have a well, so Dad hauled drinking water from a neighbor's place where the well was a shallow hand dug well in their barnyard. I imagine the water was contaminated with something bad. It didn't help that it was stored in military surplus fuel tanks in our house. I was sent to school with the Extract so the teacher could give me a tablespoon as needed. Actually, it wasn't bad tasting stuff.

I used some of it for spiritual purposes and gifted some to friends. The spiritual use is generally for cleansing.
