Description: Florida Style Pizza? What the hell is Florida Style Pizza!? Well, funny story. Despite the name, there's no actual Florida-style pizza, at least not one associated with the Sunshine State. The story instead begins in South Philadelphia, where Greek immigrant Panagiotis Kotsiopoulos opened a pizza shop at the corner of Snyder and Beechwood in 1972 and named it Florida Style Pizza. Alongside traditional pies, Kotsiopoulos served panzerotti, small, calzone-like pockets stuffed with pizza ingredients. Unlike calzones, which are baked, panzerotti are deep-fried to crispy, golden perfection, and it was these delicious little grease bombs that Kotsiopoulos dubbed "Florida Style Pizza."

Description: Premiering in 1991, Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars was a Saturday morning animated sci-fi adventure based on the cult comic book series. Set in an alternate universe where anthropomorphic animals inhabit distant planets, the series followed Captain Bucky O'Hare, a fearless green rabbit leading a ragtag crew of freedom fighters against the evil Toad Empire and its tyrannical computer overlord, KOMPLEX. Aboard their spaceship, the Righteous Indignation, Bucky and his crew battled the toads in an ongoing struggle to liberate the galaxy. Combining colorful characters, futuristic weapons, interplanetary warfare, and plenty of cartoon humor, the show was part of a wave of action cartoons in the early '90s.

Description: In 1989, former metalworker and union leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made his first run for Brazil's presidency as the Workers' Party (PT) candidate in the nation's first direct election since 1960. Campaigning for workers' rights, land reform, economic change, and reduced inequality, he used the slogan “um voto de classe,” a play on both social class and making a classy choice. His grassroots support carried him past 20 other candidates into a runoff against Fernando Collor de Mello. Lula lost the December 17 election with nearly 47% of the vote to Collor's 53%, but emerged as a major political figure. After further defeats in 1994 and 1998, he finally won the presidency in 2002.

Description: Released in 1980, Airplane! is a wildly irreverent comedy that helped redefine the movie spoof genre. A parody of the disaster films popular throughout the 1970s, particularly the Airport series, the movie follows Ted Striker, a traumatized former fighter pilot who boards a commercial flight in hopes of winning back his flight attendant girlfriend, Elaine. When the flight crew is incapacitated by food poisoning, Striker must overcome his fear of flying and somehow land the plane. Featuring an all-star cast, Airplane! delivered a relentless barrage of absurd situations, ridiculous sight gags, clever wordplay, and hilariously deadpan performances. Packed with endlessly quotable lines, the film became a massive box-office success.

Description: Home to around 500 residents, South Fork, Colorado, sits at 8,209 feet where the South Fork and Rio Grande rivers meet. Established in 1882 to support the silver mines of nearby Creede, the town wasn't incorporated until 1992, making it one of Colorado's youngest statutory towns. Surrounded by nearly two million acres of national forest and offering access to the Weminuche Wilderness and Continental Divide Trail, South Fork is a natural destination for outdoor adventurers. Among its businesses was Kip's Kampers, a dealership offering new and used slide-in campers, truck toppers, RVs, and trailers, along with complete recreational vehicle service and maintenance.

Description: Phalanx: The Enforce Fighter A-144 is a Japanese side-scrolling shoot-'em-up video game originally released in 1991 for the Sharp X68000 home computer. Set in the year 2279, the game follows genetically enhanced fighter pilot Wink Baufield, who is dispatched to the distant planet Delia IV after a mysterious alien force overruns a human research colony. Piloting the experimental A-144 Phalanx starfighter, players battle through eight increasingly challenging stages filled with enemy spacecraft, alien creatures, mechanical defenses, and massive bosses. Featuring detailed graphics, fast-paced combat, and an assortment of upgradeable weapons, Phalanx earned a following among fans of classic space shooters.

Description: If you enjoyed a cold beer while you were alive, there's no reason to give it up just because you're dead! This early 1950s Schlitz Halloween design features a couple of thirsty ghosts heading out for a round of "the beer that made Milwaukee famous." One even calls the bar his favorite haunt, which seems fitting for someone who's been dead for a while. Of course, that raises an important question: do they actually serve spirits, or just beer?

Description: Founded in Portland, Oregon, in 1929 by Leland James, Consolidated Freightways (CF) grew from a small regional trucking operation into one of America's largest freight carriers. Known for its distinctive red, green, and white trucks, CF helped revolutionize the industry through innovative equipment designs, including the development of the Freightliner cab-over-engine truck. By the 1950s, CF was rapidly expanding nationwide, embracing its advertising slogan, “Miles Ahead,” which reflected its commitment to innovation, efficiency, and dependable service. Affectionately nicknamed “Corn Flakes” by truckers, CF became a fixture on American highways for decades before ceasing operations in September 2002, ending 73 years of trucking history.

Description: As Camp Crystal Lake prepared to open for the summer of 1971, camp owner John Christy received a shipment of freshly printed t-shirts bearing one rather unfortunate typo: “Camp Crystal Lick.” Understandably less than thrilled, John called the vendor to straighten things out, giving viewers a hilarious glimpse of his frustration. “Yeah, no, it's a lake, not a lick. Who wants to go to Camp Crystal Lick? What kind of business do you think this is?” Things only got worse when the vendor suggested fixing the mistake with a marker, prompting an exasperated “What's wrong with you?!” This design recreates the infamous misprinted Camp Crystal Lick shirt with a suitably worn-in, vintage look, so we're going to assume he eventually handed them out.

Description: The Haunt of Horror was a horror anthology series launched in 1973, during a resurgence of interest in supernatural stories, monsters, and all things macabre. Originally introduced as a digest-sized magazine featuring horror fiction accompanied by illustrations, the title lasted just two issues before being resurrected in 1974 as a full-sized black-and-white horror comics magazine. The revamped series featured gruesome tales of demons, vampires, witchcraft, and supernatural terror, along with several recurring horror characters. Taking advantage of the magazine format, which wasn't subject to the Comics Code Authority's restrictions, The Haunt of Horror embraced darker themes and more mature storytelling than conventional comic books.c

Description: Howl at the moon and embrace your inner monster with this retro Wolfman design! Inspired by a circa 1980 iron-on, this old-school horror graphic features a snarling werewolf emerging from the darkness beneath a full moon, his clawed hands gripping the top of a tombstone that asks the rather unsettling question, “Eat Your Heart Out?” With its classic monster movie styling, distressed artwork, and just the right amount of creepy charm, this throwback design is perfect for horror fans, werewolf enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a little vintage Halloween kitsch. After all, why settle for being a heartbreaker when you can be a heart eater?

Description: Gorgo is a 1961 British monster movie directed by Eugène Lourié that puts a British twist on the kaiju craze. Two salvage operators capture a prehistoric sea creature off Ireland and bring it to London as a circus attraction. Unfortunately, their prize is just a baby, and its gigantic mother soon emerges to reclaim it. The ensuing rampage leaves London in ruins as the monster demolishes buildings and overwhelms the military. Featuring impressive miniature sets, practical effects, and plenty of monster mayhem, Gorgo has become a cult favorite. Unlike most creature features, it has a surprisingly sympathetic twist: the monsters aren't the villains, and the humans arguably get exactly what they deserve.

Description: Released in April 1995 as the lead single from her second solo album, Post, “Army of Me” marked a darker, more aggressive direction for Icelandic singer Björk. The track combines a menacing industrial bassline, pounding electronic beats, and Björk's unmistakable vocals into a relentless, almost mechanical assault. Inspired by her younger brother, the song delivers a tough-love message about self-reliance, urging him to stop complaining and take control of his life. The single was accompanied by a surreal music video featuring Björk driving a futuristic truck through a bizarre industrial city, visiting a gorilla dentist, and blowing up an art museum. This design includes the cyber polar bear used on the single's cover in select markets.

Description: Sorrows of Satan is a 1926 American silent fantasy drama based on Marie Corelli's bestselling 1895 novel of the same name. The film focuses on Geoffrey Tempest, a struggling young writer who finds himself suddenly wealthy after making the acquaintance of the mysterious Prince Lucio de Rimanez. Unbeknownst to Tempest, his generous benefactor is actually Satan himself, determined to prove that even the most virtuous souls can be corrupted. The film blends religious allegory, supernatural horror, and melodrama with elaborate sets and striking visual effects. Particularly memorable are its dramatic use of light and shadow, including an unforgettable sequence in which Satan's enormous wings appear as a sinister shadow against a wall.

Description: Part science, part psychedelia, and completely mind-blowing, Cosmic Supercomputer explores the intersection of human consciousness, mathematics, and the mysteries of the universe. This intricate black-and-white design combines vintage scientific diagrams, geometric patterns, numerical sequences, and cosmic imagery into a surreal collage of knowledge and imagination. With a distinctly retro-futuristic aesthetic, it recalls an era when computers were beginning to change the world, and the possibilities of technology seemed as limitless as the cosmos itself.

Description: Founded in 1959 in Lodi, California, Teresi Trucking got its start with a single truck and a determination to build a successful transportation business one load at a time. What began as a one-man operation gradually grew into a respected family-run trucking company, expanding its fleet and developing a reputation for dependable service, experienced drivers, and well-maintained equipment. Specializing in flatbed transportation and oversize speciality hauling, Teresi provided overnight truckload and less-than-truckload service throughout California, along with expedited interstate trucking throughout all 48 states. The company remained committed to the same straightforward principles that helped get it rolling until closing up shop in 2026.

Description: Mahatma Gandhi (1869–1948) was an Indian political leader, social reformer, and champion of nonviolent resistance whose philosophy helped inspire India's struggle for independence from British rule. Through peaceful protest, civil disobedience, and an unwavering commitment to truth and justice, Gandhi demonstrated that extraordinary change could be achieved without resorting to violence. The words “In a gentle way, you can shake the world,” widely attributed to him by way of a 1913 speech, albeit a modern interpretation, perfectly capture the spirit of his philosophy. Gandhi believed that true strength came not from intimidation or force, but from courage, compassion, and the determination to stand against injustice.

Description: During the 1970s, when daredevil stunt shows were all the rage, few spectacles could match the fiery excitement of a motorcycle soaring through the infamous “Flaming Ring of Death.” Popularized by the era’s larger-than-life stunt riders, the stunt involved launching a motorcycle off a ramp and through a towering hoop engulfed in flames, hopefully emerging on the other side with eyebrows intact. Inspired by the death-defying exploits of nationally known riders, motorcycle stuntmen everywhere began incorporating flaming hoops into performances at county fairs, racetracks, and traveling thrill shows across America. The stunt was as much about showmanship as it was about riding skill, roaring engines, and blazing fire!

Description: By the late 1960s, “day tripping” on LSD had become something of a counterculture pastime, as young people looking to expand their consciousness traded the confines of everyday life for a few hours of psychedelic adventure. Whether wandering through city parks, exploring the countryside, hanging out at the beach, or simply watching the clouds roll by, day trippers experienced an altered world of vivid colors, shifting patterns, distorted perceptions, and heightened sensations. Fueled by the music, art, and free-spirited attitudes of the era, these daytime excursions became part of the larger psychedelic movement, where the ordinary could suddenly seem extraordinary and even a simple afternoon stroll could turn into a mind-bending odyssey.

Description: Otie Smith got his start in drag racing back in 1953, tearing down the strip at the Akron Airport drags in his '32 roadster. Within just a few years, his talent for building and tuning high-performance engines had earned him a reputation throughout the local hot rod and drag racing scenes, leading to the founding of Otie’s Automotive. While Otie continued to spend plenty of time behind the wheel of his own dragsters, he was just as busy in the shop, building custom engines, fine-tuning race cars, and developing some truly unique speed equipment. This design includes a full-color illustration of what is likely Otie's most famous dragster - his 1964 AA/A Dragmaster 23T!

Description: For a century, anyone looking for a gay time in Ohio would be pointed to Chippewa Lake Park. A beloved amusement park located along the shores of Chippewa Lake in Medina County, Ohio, Chippewa Lake Park entertained generations of visitors from 1878 to 1978. Originally established as a lakeside picnic and recreation area, the park grew into one of northeastern Ohio’s favorite summertime destinations, featuring wooden roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, a carousel, Tumble Bug, a swimming beach, boat rides, and a lively midway. Its famous ballroom hosted legendary big bands and entertainers, making the park as popular with adults as it was with children, living up to the nickname “Ohio’s Family Playground.”

Description: Winsome Witch was a cartoon series that debuted on October 2, 1965, as part of The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show. The series followed the misadventures of Winsome “Winnie” W. Witch, a good-hearted but somewhat bumbling witch who traveled the world on her flying broomstick, using her magical powers to help those in need, usually with hilariously unpredictable results. Winnie was a self-described “fairy godmother dropout” whose trademark incantation, “Ippity-Pippity-Pow!” often unleashed more trouble than she bargained for. Unlike the sinister witches of traditional fairy tales, Winnie was friendly, cheerful, and always eager to lend a hand. The series ran for 26 episodes between 1965 and 1967 in the golden age of Saturday morning cartoons.

Description: Picking up where the original left off, 1970s Beneath the Planet of the Apes follows astronaut Brent, who crash-lands on a mysterious future Earth while searching for the missing astronaut, Taylor. Brent soon finds himself caught between a society of intelligent apes and a bizarre underground civilization of telepathic, radiation-scarred human mutants living beneath the ruins of NYC. These mutants worship a nuclear missile, setting the stage for a disturbing confrontation. Religious fanaticism and Cold War paranoia take the franchise into considerably darker territory, and a shocking, apocalyptic ending remains one of the bleakest conclusions in science fiction cinema, leaving audiences wondering how the series could possibly continue.

Description: Did you vacation in California in 1979? Were you born in '79? Are you a 79-year-old California native? Or perhaps just a seagull with a serious case of California dreamin'? Whatever your story, this retro design has you covered! Inspired by a vintage 1979 t-shirt iron-on, it features a classic California beach scene complete with rolling waves, a groovy sunset, and a few seagulls soaring overhead. It's a sun-soaked throwback to a time when the surf was up, the vibes were good, and summer seemed to last forever. Take a trip back to the summer of '79!

Description: The Scottish Rite is a branch of Freemasonry that traces its origins to the 18th century and is known for its elaborate rituals, philosophical teachings, and distinctive system of 33 degrees. Building upon the foundations of traditional Freemasonry, the Scottish Rite explores themes of morality, personal growth, justice, and the pursuit of knowledge through allegorical ceremonies steeped in symbolism and history. Despite its name, the organization developed largely in France and later flourished in the United States, where the Supreme Council of the Southern Jurisdiction was established in Charleston. This particular design is from a banner or apron design as described in The Book of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite from 1885.

Description: Jarts—or lawn darts—came from that magical era when apparently nobody had heard of product liability yet. The concept was beautifully simple: take a giant weighted dart with a metal point, throw it high into the air, and hope it stabbed the ground inside a plastic ring instead of your little sister. Somehow, this was considered wholesome family entertainment and not at all risky. The game was invented in the early 1950s by dentist Lawrence Barnett in his barn in upstate New York. Because, naturally, the guy who spent his days fixing people’s teeth decided what America really needed was a set of airborne backyard projectiles. Commercial production began in 1954, and Jarts quickly became a hit.

Description: Christ on Parade’s debut Sounds of Nature was a fierce blast of charged Bay Area hardcore unleashed on an unsuspecting public in 1985. Recorded at Peter Miller Studios in San Francisco, the album captured the band’s mix of breakneck thrash, abrasive twin-guitar attack, and the darker influence of anarcho-punk and British political hardcore. Songs such as “Drop Out,” “No Truth,” “Landlord,” “Don’t Draft Me,” and “America the Myth” paired raw speed with lyrics aimed at war, authority, conformity, and Reagan-era politics. Contemporary punk press praised the record for its piercing guitar sound and relentless intensity, and Sounds of Nature helped establish Christ on Parade as one of the more distinctive '80s hardcore acts.

Description: Kero-Sun was one of the best-known names in America’s portable kerosene-heater boom of the late 1970s and early ’80s. The company was founded in Kent, Connecticut, by former airline pilot William “Bill” Litwin, who became convinced that compact Japanese kerosene heaters could offer Americans a cheaper way to heat individual rooms during the energy crisis. After striking a deal with a Japanese manufacturer, Kero-Sun began importing and marketing the heaters in the US, with sales climbing from just a few thousand units in the mid-1970s to hundreds of thousands by the early ’80s. By 1981, Kero-Sun was doing roughly $100 million in annual business. Rising competition, falling fuel prices, and growing safety concerns brought an end to Kero-Sun.

Description: Founded in Chehalis, Washington, in 1942, Del’s Logging built its reputation by going where other outfits wouldn’t. Specializing in the harvest of big timber from steep, remote, and hard-to-reach country, the company relied on rugged crews, heavy cable equipment, and no small amount of nerve to pull massive Douglas fir, cedar, and hemlock out of the forests of southwest Washington. From muddy mountain grades to deep ravines and isolated timber stands, Del’s became known for tackling difficult jobs that demanded both skill and ingenuity. For decades, its trucks and equipment were a familiar sight around Lewis County, carrying some of the region’s biggest logs down out of the hills and on toward the mills.

Description: In early-1960s Germany, Löwenbräu Münchner Hell represented the bright, clean lager style that had come to dominate Munich drinking culture after the war. By 1960–61, pale Helles accounted for about 89 percent of Löwenbräu’s beer sales, compared with only 11 percent for traditional Dunkles, and bottled beer had overtaken draught in the brewery’s sales mix. Golden, bottom-fermented, gently malty and only moderately bitter, Münchner Hell was the everyday beer of Munich beer halls, neighborhood taverns and gardens—the sort of beer ordered simply as ein Bier. Löwenbräu itself was enjoying renewed strength during Germany’s postwar boom, rebuilding its domestic business while expanding aggressively; by 1963 it had become Germany’s leading beer.

Description: Released in 1993, Doom became one of the most influential video games ever made and helped define the modern first-person shooter. Players take the role of a lone space marine battling through a demon-infested research facility on Mars and eventually into Hell itself, armed with an increasingly destructive arsenal of shotguns, plasma weapons, and the legendary BFG 9000. Its fast movement, maze-like levels, heavy-metal atmosphere, networked multiplayer, and groundbreaking 3D-style engine made it a technical and cultural phenomenon. Just as important was its shareware distribution model, which helped Doom spread rapidly across PCs and college networks, turning it into a landmark title whose influence can still be felt in gaming today.

Description: Established in 1956 by Pancho Huerta, Pancho’s Bar is a fictional watering hole in Rosamond, California, set within a larger connected superhero universe. Its location near Edwards AFB in the Mojave Desert makes it a popular off-duty hangout for fighter pilots, who stop in to shoot pool, drink beer, and unwind. Among its regulars were Carol Danvers and Maria Rambeau. In 1995, after being stripped of her memories and manipulated into serving the Kree, Danvers crash-landed on Earth while pursuing a Skrull. The chase eventually led her to Pancho’s Bar. For filming, the bar’s exterior was represented by The Zebra, a bikini bar in Rosamond, while the interior scenes were shot at Tinhorn Flats Saloon in Burbank.

Description: By the late 1970s and early ’80s, fast-food chains had discovered that Halloween was the perfect excuse to turn a simple meal into an event. Restaurants rolled out spooky kids’ meals, collectible cups, masks, treat bags, stickers, t-shirts, iron-ons, coupons, and character-themed packaging designed to lure in families during October. The big chains leaned heavily into colorful ghosts, witches, pumpkins, monsters, and cartoon mascots, often tying the promotions to costume contests or trick-or-treat giveaways. For kids, the appeal was as much about the premium as the food, and many of those plastic pails, cups, and paper decorations became nostalgic keepsakes that helped establish the seasonal fast-food promotions that are still common today.

Description: The Mamas & the Papas were one of the defining folk-rock groups of the 1960s, blending the harmonies of the folk revival with the polished pop sound of California’s emerging counterculture. Formed in 1965, the quartet of John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, Denny Doherty, and Cass Elliot broke through with “California Dreamin’,” followed by hits including “Monday, Monday,” “I Saw Her Again,” and “Dedicated to the One I Love.” Their intricate vocal harmonies, memorable songwriting, and distinctly West Coast image made them synonymous with the mid-’60s era, while their complicated personal relationships created as much drama as their music. Although their original run lasted only a few years, the group left an enduring mark on 1960s music.

Description: Founded in 1959 in Millinocket, Maine, Katahdin Flying Service has spent decades carrying passengers, supplies, sportsmen, and adventurers into the remote heart of the Maine North Woods. Based on the shores of Lake Millinocket beneath the imposing presence of Mount Katahdin, the company built its reputation flying rugged floatplanes into wilderness lakes and backcountry camps inaccessible by road. From fishing and hunting trips to sightseeing flights and supply runs, Katahdin Flying Service became a familiar sight over the forests and waterways of northern Maine, keeping alive a tradition of bush flying where the lake is the runway and the next destination might be miles from the nearest paved road.

Description: Pig ’N Pancake has been an Oregon Coast institution since May 1961, when the first tiny restaurant opened in Seaside. The original restaurant only seated 35 customers and closed each afternoon at 2 p.m., but its homemade pancakes and casual family atmosphere proved popular enough to fuel expansion along the Oregon Coast, opening in Astoria in 1967 and later adding locations in Cannon Beach, Lincoln City, and Newport. Known for its original specialty pancake recipes, including buttermilk, Swedish, sourdough, and French batter varieties, Pig ’N Pancake grew to become one of the coast’s most recognizable restaurants.
