I worked for Naums Catalog Showroom, about the year 1980, and they had oil
in cardboard cans with the metal tops. The plastic ones had already been
marketed, so the transition started before then. Both were available.

The plastic ones pack in tighter, and are more space efficient.

Hi all,

Was talking to a neighbor this morning, and somehow came on the subject
of 1 quart plastic oil bottles... and we were trying to remember about
what year the change to them was made.

Does anyone here remember about when that was?

I'm thinking mid 80's or so...

Thanks in advance!

Erik

PS, BTW, I still have one of those old cans.. full and un-opened!
