Lol...My Aunt had these metal cups...I can remember a summers day in 66 and coming in from playing, my Aunt grabbed these colored cups, went to her Wards refrigerator, took out a glass pitcher of cold tap water and poured us all a cup. To this day when I am thirsty and gulp down a glass of water....that memory flashes back.

My grandparents lived on a farm in Michigan, with well water. The water had a high iron content. So, even though there was no real taste to the cup, the reminder of that cold, metallic tasting water still lingers.

Cracker Barrel had some somewhat similar remakes a number of years back. I should have bought them.

Someday, I'll go on ebay and find me a set.

Here's another memory I had from my grandpa.

You can still get those metal cups at the VT country store catalog
