Why don’t they make them like they used to

May 23rd, 2013

Searching the internet for retro bathroom accessories, I came across these amazing 1950′s refrigerators images.

I love the camouflage of it all. Shame they don’t make them like this anymore.

Although imagine how many times you’d be saying “Shut the fridge door, I mean the cupboard,  or is that the drawer you left open!!”

Maybe that’s why valium was so popular back then.

It’s Moments Like These You Need Minties

May 20th, 2013

 

Ah Minties, who else loves those little filling rippers? Did you know they were originally sold in bulk tins of 2.2kg? That was back in 1922 and we have come a way with lolly portion control since then. But it seems our love for all things mint is rife here at Corner Store. Check out these newly arrived items!
