I've also got an unopened package of Dixie-Cups from the 60's...I was thinking of ebaying it but didn't know if it was worth anything....

That sounds like a pretty cool thing to collect.

We moved into her home about 6 years ago and after going through the closets found tons of food, and products from the 60s and up. We still have some things, although a lot of the food was pitched my mom kept a few boxes for nostalgic reasons.

Effedup 6 years 4 months ago Posts: 80	I would kill for a bottle of Crystal Pepsi...I couldn't get enough of that stuff when I was younger. It's been so long since I tasted it I'd prolly gag if I drank it today lol My Grandma was a child of the depression, so she used to hoard a lot of food "just in case". When my Grandfather died about 10 years ago, us grandkids all got together and cleaned out her house and we found stuff that was just ancient. There was lots of stuff that didn't even have barcodes on the packaging, so it must have been pretty old. This was pre-ebay, though, so we just pitched it all. Might have been worth some money...

General Tso 6 years 3 months ago Posts: 22	I picked up a empty can of Crystal Pepsi for a buck at a flea market earlier this year. I collect anything related to Crystal Pepsi, so I was pretty psyched to find a can without having to resort to crazy prices on eBay.

Do you have any C3POs? As for vintage food, I have a couple of coke bottles and some Star Wars Episode 1 Burger King cups n stuff, but nothing ancient.
