Band Aids
When was the last time you bought Band Aids? Ok, maybe if you've got kids, that's a dumb question. I don't have kids. I'm not sure when, if ever, I've actually ever bought Band Aids before, but it finally came to pass that I needed to refresh the inventory of Band Aids at mikey HQ.
The first thing I noticed is they don't come in those cool metal boxes anymore. That's a tragedy. Those flip-top metal boxes were by far the coolest thing about Band Aids.
I have had this little metal box of Band Aids at LEAST since I was married, back in 1990. So probably twenty years. Who knows where it came from, or who actually decided to buy it, or why. History, lost in the mists, as represented by a metal box of Band Aids. Cultural touchstone, or pointless search for meaning?

pointless
Yep.
Can't argue with that...
I miss the tin for the fun of it, but they got a little rusty if you kept 'em in the bathroom medicine cabinet and liked taking long baths.
Rusty bandaids. Not good.
I've got a couple of those tins...I store my special medicine in there.
