Sometimes I will use something and realize I've owned it forever. It's a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What's your record?

We got three sets of bedsheets when we got married thirteen years ago, still using all of them.

Before we were married, my spouse got me a tea set; only two teacups left but I do use them daily.

But the winner is the engraved, personalized cereal spoon I got when I was five by saving cereal box tops and sending them in.

Cereal box top redemption!

Those halcyon days!

That's awesome. I have some things from my childhood at my family home but nothing that I actually still use.
