We often hear our elders and shopkeepers say that the products of yesteryears have better durability and value than those being launched at present.
ARY Digital morning show Good Morning Pakistan, hosted by Nida Yasir, showed a light bulb and a car that are in perfect working condition for more than 100 years.
The bulb is in perfect working condition for the past 120 years at a fire station in the United States. It had set a Guinness World Record back in 1971 as well.
Moreover, the car is seen travelling on German roads since 1894. Made by Mercedes-Benz, the vehicle travels at a slow pace of 29 mph and comes with two gears and brakes each.
