Things that haven't changed.

[eldar]

I bought my two year old grandson a 50p water pistol to annoy his parents with. It was exactly the same design, size and materials as the ones from my childhood half a century ago. Just cost 5p then.

I can't think of many things that have remained unchanged over that time apart from some tin openers.

They have a hole at the top of the cap now to stop you choking. (Other ballpoint pens are available)

The French word for paper clip is trombone. You can see why. I wonder which was named after which?

Buttons / buttonholes. A masterful bit of intelligent design.

Scissors. The modern design we have now was first made in the mid 1700s in England.

Lots of things still being made that were first created yonks ago.
I have a Mason Cash cane bowl, they have been making them since 1901

- Wooden spoons probably not too different today as they were in 1000BC

- Lego - I'm pretty sure you can still interlock a lego brick from the 60's with a lego brick from 2021

You must be younger than you sound.

Mine was in the 6d tray.

I'm going to challenge that, checkout the screwfix website. Very few are on a stick these days.

Whoopie cushions

My wife bought a couple recently for the kids. They are now self inflating, (they have foam inside). nowhere near as good as the original ones.

Original style cushions are available but harder to find.
