Just thinking of the squat Testors bottles makes me happy. Drug stores used to carry a wide array of colors in the 70s, and I'd look at all the colors before buying a Charleston Chew for my walk home from school. Back when kids walked home from school. I may get an Atlantis color bottle as a talisman, even though I don't have the bike. The 2004 Quickbeam green is an exact match for Plasti-kote "shamrock green" though.
