Tribond
A red stapler, a lighter and a tin of hard candies, what could these three things possibly have in common.
The Stapler: Red in color and made by Swingline. (I think that's way too much information already.)
The Lighter: A classic Zippo model 200 with brushed chrome finish. Preferred by cool non-smoking bank robbers everywhere.
The Candy Tin: サクマ式 ドロップス (In those days Japanese writing went from right to left instead of left to right.) Sakuma Drops have been in production in Japan since 1908. The tin container has been the same shape from the beginning but the design has changed now and then making them somewhat collectible. This particular version was originally produced in the 1940s .
So there you have it. These three seemingly completely unrelated objects share at least one common trait. Do you know what it is? As with most trivia the answer is easy if you know it and nearly impossible if you don't. Duh! Anyway, give it a go if you like. I promise to be significantly impressed and to henceforth and forever think even more highly of anyone who can come up with the answer.
