HOOTY-HOO !! The hooters have landed on this very exciting second installment of our 19th century dump in the sewer trench video series! I mean, when you're digging in new 1890s stuff, who gives a hoot, right ?? Wrong !! The Owl Drug Company was founded in 1892 for the express purpose of making digging in 90s crap kind of exciting...and MAN, the Great Owl Spirits did NOT disappoint us today. Watch BottleNed & Privy Pokin' Paige get tarred & feathered while prying out history deep below the sidewalks in an incredibly-preserved Late Victorian Era trash dump, eventually making some bucket list finds. You can only get this kind of entertainment here people! And you won't even need your bird-watching binoculars to see some of the finest-looking owls ever captured on camera emerge from a long hibernation !!!

UPDATE! Special additional info on the history of the term soda "pop" thanks to @robbybobby6466 !!
The first known reference of the term “Pop”, as referring to a beverage, was in 1812 in a letter written by English poet Robert Southey. In this letter, he also explains the term’s origin: “Called on A. Harrison and found he was at Carlisle, but that we were expected to supper; excused ourselves on the necessity of eating at the inn; supped there upon trout and roast foul, drank some most admirable cyder, and a new manufactory of a nectar, between soda-water and ginger-beer, and called pop, because ‘pop goes the cork’ when it is drawn, and pop you would go off too, if you drank too much of it.”
