Two Quiet Mistakes at This 1970s Bowling Counter

The Answer

The correct answer is: The two mistakes are the modern resealable snack zipper strip and the molded silicone straw cap..

  2. Look closely near the pretzel bag and the paper cups.
  3. A resealable zipper strip and silicone straw cap are modern material clues, even though they are color-matched to the scene.
