No that's suppose to be $200 in seat belt fine revenue in my state, but I still see it happening fairly regularly.

I used to love this type, a little skilled hand twists and you had a free pop!
Also we used to empty the cap catcher and remove the cork seals. Then the caps were attached to our T-shirts using the cork on the inside of the shirt.

yes .. dunno if the machines were aging, or the bottles got a little smaller but i recall tha flip top machine might reward your sleight of hand with a free Nehi.

We collected the cork lined caps for attaching our baseball caps, etc ... and for our "Army Man" weapons

For the young'uns among us, this is a bottle cap gun, powered by rubber bands, sometimes home-made with large clothes pins and scrap wood.

"Yeah, but what's a clothes pin? We, uh, used them on clothes lines. What's a clothes line?" Excerpt from a conversation with my 22 year old nephew I recall from a few years back

hadnt considered that chief .. since I am not a big beer drinker.

I do remember a jingle from my youth tho (i may have the words wrong, but something like this/ had a Native American beat)

"From the land of sky blue waters, comes the water best for brewing, Hamm's the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing"
