shoutout to this nearly 50 year old bulb in our kitchen still going strong

A GE “Kitchen & Bath” flourescent bulb. “7 • 10 • 78” is scrawled above the label in faded permanent marker.

given we’re in the US, that would presumably be July 10th, 1978

    unfortunately, the bulb was covered in grease and smelled awful, and in cleaning it i had to scrub off the sharpie, but i wrote it back on in the exact same place copying the exact same handwriting, which is why i took the photo to begin with :P
