We’re all getting older, and maybe we’re starting to look more like our parents. We’re starting to see the points-of-view the older people in our lives espoused all those years ago. And we’re starting to say things that used to make us cringe.
If we were lucky enough to inherit treasures from our grandparents, some of these 12 things might even be popping up around our homes – because there’s a 99% chance your grandparents had this stuff, too.
12. These deadly carpet protectors.

You could lose the lids for these containers just as easily.
