For a few years my mom obsessively kept any receipts/report cards/etc. for all the kids in separate folders in a filing cabinet. When I turned 18 and moved out in '02 I grabbed my folder and somehow still have it to this day.
(I also found a couple receipts in there for issues of Diehard GameFan!)

This one's fascinating as it demonstrates that by '85, drug manufacturers still hadn't quite figured out the whole tamper-proofing thing in the wake of the '82 Tylenol cyanide poisonings. Putting the bottle inside a can certainly works, but is hardly the most efficient or practical solution.
