Soft drinks in glass bottles. When I was a kid, soft drinks came in 12oz cans or glass bottles (10 & 16oz). You had to pay a deposit on these (usually five cents).

I used to collect these in my neighborhood by the dozens and turn them in. It helped finance my comic book and candy habits for years.

Both parts of this are still a thing. More or less so, depending on where you are in the world, anyway.
