On Tanduay Bottles and The Bote-Bakal Man

I dont know about you but one part of my childhood that I cant really forget are those "bote-bakal guys". If that doesnt ring any bells, they are those guys who go walk around places everyday under the heat of the sun shouting "bote bakaaaal!" while on the background rings their bells or their unruly contraptions called uhm.. torotots (poot! poot!)... Now, if the bell signifies the ice cream man on some parts of the world, the torotot would probably be the puto man or the BB guys.
Now if it really counts for anything. What is the single thing you are reminded of everytime you remember the BB guys. For me, that would be the Tanduay bottles. Yes, the Lapads, Junior and the Long necks. Saved from those long drinking nights of your Dad and his pals. Tanduay has over a hundred and fifty years of history. It all began in 1854 when Don Joaquin Elizalde, together with his uncle, Juan Bautista Yrissary, and the Manila-based Spanish businessman and financier Joaquin Ynchausti established a trading partnership, which acquired the Manila Steamship Company. This alliance was named the Ynchausti Y Cia. Back to the story, now I have watched countless recycling ads and shows and the Tanduay bottles still stay on the back of my head.
I really am not into the recycling hype, its too bothersome for me. And of course, everybody else does find it bothersome. The BB guys never really tell you these things of course. Here's a link http://www.environment-green.com/. I bet those BB guys never really knew all about these things. But, admit it or not. They are the smallest unit of environment savers here in the world. Poot! Poot!
