I wonder what they’ll call penny matches when pennies have fallen out of the common vernacular. Will it be one of those terms that hangs on for a few generations until some “word histories” TikTok (or whatever will replace TikTok, when the base age of its users gets too old to be considered relevant by marketeers) does a bit on it, including both “penny wise, pound foolish” (which may already be archaic according to internet time) and “Pennywise the Clown” which, of course, has nothing to do with pennies; but maybe it will cause a resurgence in the interest of scary clowns and Stephen King novels, and someone will find The Stand and realize that scary stories can come true.

There will be t-shirts dedicated to The Trashcan Man. He will be the symbol of our age.
