“Manual transmissions”
Probably not since gas prices are getting higher and the Western world is getting poorer. Drive a stick the right way and you can get anywhere as high as 50MPGs on MT Fiestas, Aveos and Civics. Also, high performance MTs themselves have switched over to paddle shift. The MT is going nowhere because it’s so useful.
“Pop in glass bottles”
Pop in glass bottles cool down quicker, so that one’s not going anywhere either.
Newspapers are going to become niche products full of illustrations and announcements of local events such as the local team winning a sports championship or a gubernatorial/mayoral election but with little to nothing else in content.
I've always used a manual transmission in my cars until just recently, where I finally had to give in to my arthritis and go with an automatic.
Rexall drug stores
This has special meaning to me: My cousins used to have a Rexall Drug chain - Shalinsky Rexall in Overland Park and KC Kansas.

Add to that toilets that work,
showers that give you enough water to rinse off,
being able to do what you want with your own property,
light bulbs that give you enough light to read a book by...
.being able to kill and wolf that is threatening your life or killing your animals...
.being able to keep more than 50% of your income.
a town with no swat team that likes to kill dogs and innocent citizens in their own home.
being able to smoke a cigarette in the park.

The story books of the Disney movies that contained cassettes of the songs from the movies.
Stores that used paper bags for small purchases.
