returnable pop bottles?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yep, pop came in
glass bottles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you bought ’em at
the grocery store, you paid a deposit (2 cents in our 1960s town) on each
bottle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you went back to the store,
you took back your empties for the money back, or a one-for-one swap if you got
more pop.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">That’s because these glass bottles
were returned to a regional bottler, washed, sanitized, refilled, and
re-capped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See my memories of working <a href="https://markssuperblog.blogspot.com/2020/04/summer-job-at-coke-plant.html">one
summer at our local Coke plant here</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>

Popular Culture</i></b>. 2021<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> This is a
fun book, even for non-academics. Gary
Gross’s theme is that outré visions, as in freak shows and the like, over time
become less shocking, and even embraced through a process of “cuteifying” and
familiarity.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Other
factors in the mainstreaming of the weird or horrifying include mass-media
awareness, advances in science which disallowed the cursed-by-God explanation,
and the outsider-as-cool phenomenon.<o:p></o:p></p>

THERE’S LESS!<o:p></o:p></p>
