MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

As always, some oldies but goodies, special requests, new finds and more.....

For many people hot mulled cider is for fall, Christmas and winter. But back in the mid-60's to early 70's, Hot Dr. Pepper was all the rage instead....then it quickly fell out of favor.

Well......it's back at our house! And it's as good as we remember. To the right a 1972 ad for the libation, complete with Dr. Pepper warming rig. We just used a saucepan!

You learn something new every day.....check out Vantablack, the darkest material ever made. Read more about it here http://mentalfloss.com/us/go/77190
