Dad's comment on the "rush" of Japanese produced sheet metal toys in the late 1950s.
"Made from Amelican beer can."
One of these was cut open revealing "Miller" on the inside label IIRC.

"It staggered the imagination the amount of "war material" I ferried out to be used as target practice (to use up ammunition stocks.)"
When I announced I was going to buy a Honda Civic in the 1980s...
His reply: sssssss...
Dad even knew the story of W. Edwards Deming (Father of Quality Control.)
