I don't think they sell any of them in tins anymore. Luckily, we saved some of them, and I actually buy them in the box and then take them out and use them out of the tins. There was a commemorative limited edition tin a couple of years ago, and I wanted to buy one, but I never found it. I really do like to use older things rather than new whenever I can. I'm kind of a freak that way.
I went through an awful lot of Band-Aids when I delivered mail. Paper cuts, knuckle nicks, and other injuries were a frequent occurrence. I had my own supply always handy because I only use Band-Aid brand. I bought cheaper ones and didn't like them. I really found it to be true that Band-Aid brand holds up better.
I would buy them in every shape and size, and I used all of them. The Flexible Fabric ones stayed on the best through hand-washings and constant use of your hands. Maybe this a kind of a weird post? Consider it your little first-aid lesson of the day.
When I was first married, we bought a bottle of asprin and whenever I bought a new one, I would empty it into the original bottle. I have done this for 30 years. You're not weird. Twyla
ReplyDeleteIf this is a weird post, count me weird, too, because I also save the tins!
ReplyDeleteTwyla and Barbara - So, i see that I'm NOT the only one who does these kinds of things! So many types of older packaging were just nicer and prettier!
ReplyDeleteI love the ones shaped like an H. So handy and they stay on great. Love T
