These beer memorabilia from the 1970s are so neat. Reminder of the days you could find all sorts of stuff in the vending machine as a kid. 😂

From what I have seen from used ones online you can pop the tab if you figure out how to do so. They are still in their original vending capsules. I am not sure if they are tin and plastic or all plastic.

The name came from the blue ribbons that were tied around the neck of the bottle from 1882 until 1916, and then stopped due to a silk shortage during World War I. After Prohibition failed, the blue ribbons were started again around the neck of the bottle. This practice lasted from 1933 until 1950.
