It’s finally cool to collect seltzer bottles. I was so ahead of the curve on this one.
See page 4 of the IKEA catalog. Sure, only three… but it’s a start.

Overheard Conversation: Germans in America
Place: Boston Market – Claymont, DE – 1:15 PM
An engineer type man in his late 40’s explains the history of German immigrants and their profound impact on America to a slightly younger East Asian man who listens intently.
Makes the following claims: there are more Germans in America than any other immigrant, the impact of German culture is extremely prominent in American culture today, this is evidenced by the popularity of how most communities celebrate Oktoberfest, German songs (including polkas) are still taught in school, and music lessons in many public schools still feature the accordion – which if not for Germans would have never made it to the US.
Dear Dick Yuengling,
Dick, you got the goods, we all know it. Let’s not fuck around anymore with the bullshit beers. Your porter isn’t that good, and your black & tan is only passable. Obviously, in Pottsville, Premium means shitty. So please just make regular Lager and your best beer: Lord Chesterfield Ale.
Why can’t I buy this in a case anywhere in Eastern PA? You’re not marketing this product hard enough!
Stop making Light Lager, Premium Lager, and Premium Light Lager focus on the Old Lord.
Respectfully,
Chris
V/A There is Some Fun Going Forward (1972)
I was searching for more Clifford T. Ward (after liking what I heard on the Zigzag Junkshop Comp.) and came across a Dandelion Records Compilation from 1972, which was reissued with a bunch of extra tracks. There is wide range of soft to heavy rock with some experimental noise to boot (Vorblifa).
I recommend.
