Hires. My Favorite thing to Collect

This blog post is dedicated to Hires Root Beer.  I wish someone would bring it back into production.

I have a lot of Hires items, because there are a lot out there to find. Since they were really the first national brand, and have been around for a long time, you can generally find some Hires items in most locations.  Here is what I have,  Enjoy the collection.  This will be a long one so settle in for a few minutes.
