Everyone growing up in the 60’s knows that the container is the sewing kit. I was actually surprised when I saw the cookies😂😂😂

if you put a piece of bread on top of the cookies and put the lid on the next day almost any cookie will become soft chew cookies. even the hardest cookies

I too remember those tins. My mom used it as a sewing box and she kept a jar of all types of buttons in it. I bought a top, but didn't like the buttons on it. That bottle had perfect small pearl buttons for that top. Years later I went to Lord & Taylor for something. When I passed the jewelry counter, I noticed that they had plastic button earrings. I went through the bottle of buttons and found a few that I liked. I went to a jewelry supply shop not far from where I worked and picked up some earring posts, glued them on and made my own. Cost me less then the ones at L&T. When friends and coworkers saw them they wanted them. They had me make them and bought bought them as Christmas gifts for their friends and family. Gave me something to do in the evening.

The older generation used to store sewing items in the cookie tins after the cookies had been eaten. I remember this from when I was a small child with my grandmother. My son (who is 20) and I went to Walmart one time around the Christmas holidays. He picked up a cookie tin and opened it and was shocked that there were actually cookies in it! He said, where’s the thread and needles?! I had to tell him that there is cookies in there before they are used for sewing items! 😂😂

I just bought a small one the other day . It had cookies in it. *had*. Now it’s my sewing can. Back in the day, when we were home from school (flu, cold, etc) we spent hours fascinated with the button box. Lots of creativity with old, odd buttons.

None of these comments have anything to do with the video. Why did the guy inspect the man’s shirt? Why did he hit him on the head? Why did he go get a tin of cookies? Why did that guy look shocked like he had never seen cookies before? And why did the other two jump back like they were scared of the tin of cookies?

Speaking of cigar boxes, my step dad had plenty of cigars those boxes. When I was in third grade we had a house building assignment. My mom took one of the boxes, then cut the top off and bended the top into half, stuck it in way so that it looked like a roof and wrapped the in tire box in aluminum foil. She thin cut out of the sides and made little windows. It was awesome!!!! Just wanted to share.🌸
