You can still get Gees linctus. Apparently the junkies like a tipple, so the pharmacist gives you a good eyeballing before selling it.

Kaolin and Morph used to be the hangover cure of choice. The secret was to be very careful not to shake up the kaolin into the the rest of the solution.

Those 1970s/80s/90s hifi systems where all you got was an amp, record player, cd player, tape deck (and recording songs off the radio). Two speakers, good sound, good power.

We live on the edge of one of the few German towns still to have Trolley buses. They are a great idea and I wonder why they aren't more widely used.
