People who change their memories to conform to environmental hoaxes are BEMRs

Wistfully, some people recall the deposit on glass bottles in the 40s, 50s, and 60s and associate it with environmental recycling. (I collected glass cola bottles: 3¢ for the little Coke bottle, 5¢ for the normal, 12-ounce Coke bottle, 7¢ for the liter/quart. Back then a few dozen bottles at 5¢ each was a significant amount of money.)

You paid a deposit when you bought the cola from a retailer. When you returned the bottle, the retailer refunded your deposit. The soft drink bottling companies collected the bottles, washed the bottles, and reused them.

IT WAS COMMERCIAL!

IT WAS NOT "ENVIRONMENTAL RECYCLING"!

Further, it was not mandated by government or green nazis!

People who change their memories to conform to environmental hoaxes are BEMRs.
