Fw: hippie trivia question

[FRITZ JUENGLING]

By the late 70s it was still a bota bag, altho 'flask' works for me as well. I had never seen this in print until a few months ago and was surprised that it was boTa rather than boDa. I had long since forgotten the word.

Same in Oregon, in the early 1970s. I don't recall any other name for them.
