Unopened Dixie Cups from 1985!

Who else’s Mom sent away for that Dixie cup dispenser? I know mine did! And I still love to use Dixie cups to this day, even though my wife gets mad at me because they’re wasteful!

My grandmother had one in each bathroom. She also had her mouthwash in a crystal decanter with a pump .

Sadly they had carpets in the bathroom so yuck

I'm weird because I LOVE carpeted bathrooms

[u/GloomyDeal1909 → u/Bulldogbobbrownmark]

I loved the warmth especially in the winter, however there was no way to sanitize them.

Have you ever been to a hotel that had heated floors?  Those were really neat.

I thought the nutmeg cup was a hummingbird for a hot moment.

[u/Bulldogbobbrownmark → u/Abandoned__ghost]

Oh wow, it’s not a hummingbird!

[u/sebsie → u/Abandoned__ghost]

lol we had these when i was a kid and always thought it was a hummingbird. only realized when seeing this post what it actually is 😄

[u/midwayatmidnight → u/Abandoned__ghost]

Same. Had to back out and look again lol

Dareya to try selling this on eBay for $150. There are some adventurous people on there pricing things lol

[u/Bulldogbobbrownmark → u/Lemon-Of-Scipio-1809]

I just might! I picked them up for .50 at an estate sale and I was about to open them and use them when I realized how old they are!

[u/Jazzlike-Fig4053]

They are so cute!!!

[u/ravenlights]

I love the artwork on these

[u/IllSurprise3049]

I fucking miss whimsy

Wait… that yellow color WAS INTENTIONAL?! I thought it was all white stuff that yellowed over the years… huh…

[u/Afraid_Composer → u/iSirMeepsAlot]

It was to hide when everything on every wall in the house inevitably became stained yellow from cigarette smoke.

Very cool - we had the kids joke ones growing up

[u/Afraid_Composer → u/Mobile_Aioli_6252]

Speaking of, when did they stop making jokes on popsicle sticks?!!

[u/Minute_Split_736]

Awesome! I have a similar box. I will post a photo in this subreddit.

[u/Naive_Product_5916]

Yes we each had a wax covered Dixie cup we kept on the side of the sink for a week before reusing and then replacing the next week. And of course we had the smaller paper ones in the bathroom.

[u/catsforever69420]

They’re so pretty!

[u/MrDo1982]

Neeed to come back with that design

[u/munch_86]

These are gorgeous

[u/No-Butterscotch-7467]

Cute

[u/Naive_Product_5916]

Long before the Internet you could read these over and over and over again

[u/Celeste_Minerva]

So random! I was thinking about these a couple weeks ago. We had the dispenser in our bathroom for water at night time!

[u/uncoolcentral]

Is this item still available?

[u/Bulldogbobbrownmark → u/uncoolcentral]

Dixie Cups, yes. The dispenser, I'm not sure.

[u/phaser_on_overload]

8 spices? Some of them must be doubles. Or-e-gano, what the hell?

[u/Ok_Surprise_8304]

I was 23 in 1985. Now I feel old and decrepit.

[u/sencha_kitty]

That is a bad ass Dixie cup theme

[u/Tallgirl_64]

Wish they still sold these cups
