Lo is the highlight of my yesterday. The thermos. The good old thermos; one of the superb examples of the magnificent products of the great socialist industry. An original Chinese product. Just take a look at the heartwarmingly horrible plastic cover; the handle that’s made out of the same material at the linoleum kitchen floor; the golden colored thermo inside; the impossible-to-pull-out cork, the crown of the thermos, the upside-down-screw-on plastic cup… One rarely has the privilege to see such a wonder nowadays. It reminds me of those thermos-flavored teas of my childhood in the nearby woods on hazy autumn days.

Thermos
Íme, a tegnapi nap fénypontja. Mondhatnám: fémpontja. A termosz. Igazi szocreál termék, amit annyira szeretek. Eredeti kínai gyártmány. Az a szívet melengetően borzalmas műanyag borítás; a füle, ami ugyanabból az anyagból készül, mint a konyhai linóleum; az aranyos színben játszó hőtároló belső, na meg a kihúzhatatlan parafa dugó, és ami az egészet megkoronázza, a fordítva a termosz tetejére csavarható műanyag pohár… Ritkán látni ma már ilyen csodát! Gyerekkori termoszízű kirándulós teák jutnak eszembe róla. Még az illatát is érzem. Lenin út, Lenin út…
