They cut open the wall to find a treasure trove of medical and beauty supplies that were lost since the 80s
“This back bathroom has a built-in style medicine cabinet. It’s got three shelves and like most medicine cabinets, it’s crammed full of stuff. Unfortunately, this one had a small gap in the bottom shelf up against the near wall. It’s only about 1 or 2 inches wide and you really have to crane your neck between the cabinet and bathroom mirror to see it. Most of the items lost would have been pushed to the back and side of the cabinet, so it’s not too surprising that it wasn’t noticeable,” explained Peter.
Over the years, enough stuff has accumulated in the crevice in the wall to make another medicine cabinet, to be frank. Among the many items that they have found are the aforementioned Jergens lotion, a bottle of Brut perfume, Bactine antiseptic, Band Aids, Pamprin pills, Vivarin caffeine tablets, AquaVelva Musk aftershave, ‘80s Tylenol, Olay oil, and a bunch more.
One of the screenshots that Peter got from his wife was a picture of the Bactine bottle with the caption The Demon: “The Bactine bottle was the one that got the most reactions from my wife. It has a very particular smell, and it brought her back to her childhood! Plus, the fact that it always stung so bad regardless of the lies on the label. The text she sent me called it ‘the demon’.”
It was built into the wall and had 3 shelves. My tweezers fell behind the bottom shelf.....and I was determined to retrieve them.
I did.
Along with a prescription envelope (with expired contents) dated a few days before JFK's assassination.
