Alright, I'll put in my 2 cents worth (incessant ramblings...) about minifig accessories (since I do loathe minifigs so - no wait, their heads do make such great gothic pinnacles for cathdral towers....). Anyway, those really old 1x1 round bricks (...) (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Hmm. I don't know. In my head, I see just a 1x1 with a stem. For me, that wouldn't work as a glass bottle, but maybe it looks like something else, like a waterbottle with one of those really long straws. Actually, those "sportsbottles" would (...) (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)

[ I deleted the message I actually wanted to respond to, so this is in the wrong part of the thread. Sorry. ] For long-necked bottles, what about pushing a short piece of technic tubing through the hole in a 1x1 round? --Bram (25 years ago, 29-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)

Well, I haven't been to LEGOLAND California yet, but the 1x1 cylinder bricks have a hole in the top of each brick (where the "LEGO" logo is supposed to be), and you could string them together. The 1x1 cylinder bricks (one of my all time favorites), (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.build)
