Shared by a Twitter user named Tusar, the images are pretty simple yet they have the power to evoke a strong sense of nostalgia in many. “How many of you have seen these?” the Twitter user asked and shared the images. One picture is of a can of Vanaspati by the brand Dalda. The other image is a bottle of Colgate tooth powder.

If you’re thinking, “Omg! I haven’t seen those in a long time,” then you’re not alone. Many tweeple expressed the same reaction. However, before knowing what they tweeted, take a look at the post:

“The empty Dalda container (plastic one) was later used by mom to keep ‘Haldhi’ or ‘Tea leaves’,” wrote a Twitter user. To which, the original poster replied, “True, and also to fetch water from the well.”

“My Jethai [aunt] used to make “luchi” [Bengali term used for poori] in dalda and after getting cold it would be really hard to eat. Colgate, I remember eating the powder during brushing the teeth. “Kya din the woh bhi”. I miss them,” wrote an individual.

There were several who also came up with similar images of other products:

“I still remember this. These were mandatory things in everyone’s home in ‘90s,” wrote a Twitter user. Was it the same for you too?
