Casio F91-W. From Obama to Osama.

While not that old in absolute terms, Koss Porta Pro headphones are essentially unchanged since they were introduced in 1984, which is an eternity by consumer electronic standards.

Sony MDR-7506, for anyone else who wanted to know the model.

Ticonderoga Pencils. There's just nothing better out there.

Those pencils are great. I've also read/heard good things about the Mitsubishi 9850 pencils.

What the fuck hasn't Mitsubishi made?

They made a better version with a backlight.

Even the F91-W has been remade many times. In steel, gold, different colors and so on.

Anything cool since 2016.

OG version is still being produced though, so it's still around.

I do like adjustable truss rod access without taking the neck out, three ply pickguard, and the 5 way switch over the 3 but it's funny when companies try to reinvent the strat but the original is still amazing.

I agree, these are all good and worthy improvements. but CBS happened and Fender went to shit, 3 bolt necks, nitro to poly, switching to lower quality components, taking production from America to third world shitholes like Mexico and Indonesia. granted, they did revert back to 4 bolt necks, but the quality never returned to the old standard.

most powered prothesthics are running on technologies of 1960's as much their design and principle didnt changed at all besides seeing actual production

Even though I love the 72 Thinline tele, CBS really did change things for bean counters over players that makes the 50s strats so special. I know not everyone can afford an usa strat but that new Indo Fender "Standard" Strat they are pushing is pretty sad and I been fine with the Mexican made strats for the price.

The Daisy Red Ryder BB Rifle. First introduced in 1940, today's models are made with more modern types of rubber seals and steel, but have not changed significantly from the original design. Fun backyard plinkers.

Since someone mentioned Listerine already I'll throw in baking soda especially Arm & Hammer brand.

Also add Vegemite for Australians. Especially bonus points for Woolworth's brand. How tf does Woolworth's stores die around the world but manage to survive as a brand Down Under,

Yeah Aussie business difference history is so weird. I heard the explanations on why some chains of Burger King restaurants were renamed Hungry Jack's instead but I still don't get why? Oz marketing is bunk asf.

naming & licensing rights really

the fender strat has changed drastically (and arguably for the worse)

Yeah but if you grab a 54 Strat or 52 tele it's amazing how much Leo got it right straight outta the gate.

Boss pedals have gone unchanged in their design since they released. Even the font is the same, no redesign whatsoever
View attachment 7091448

circuit component changes that a pedal autist would argue make it an entirely different pedal but yeah the original lineup of Boss effects are the litmus test.

This shit is really old, was already old before my grandpa was even born, industrial revolution old, even comes in these ancient triangular cans nobody else uses anymore

It says "antiseptic disinfectant" but its really a chemical weapon

These taste exactly the same as they always have to me.

 

[polaris_VII]

They still sell the original 83+ from 1999, only changes that've been made involve PCB revisions for cost reduction. Most kids today think the port on the bottom is a headphone jack.
Also still $80-90.

Altoids. I always default to the cinnamon flavor for when I need to stay up.

I always keep the tin they come in. It's very handy to hold stuff in.

Dad kept a tin of these in the glove box of his truck at *all times* when I was younger. Every time I have one it sends me right back to sitting on the old torn up seats in his piece of shit pickup that was older than I was while heading to church on a Sunday.

Also the pop-r will catch as many fish as it did decades ago.

The hooks go bad and get bent easily like the always have, so I recommend swapping them out right away, the body of this topwater popper is still perfect though.

They definitely make ecstasy
