I remember back in my small kid time, that hours before school started, my mom would wake me, my brothers, and my sisters up and we would go find Primo bottles. We'd bring them home, wash them (cuz they were worth more if they were clean), and stack them up in the carport (we don't have garages in Hawai'i). Then we'd go clean up and go to school. On Saturday, my dad and my uncles would load the cases of empty Primo bottles, the kids, and the poi dogs, into the back of the pickups and we'd go to the Primo factory in Pearl City and wait in the long line with all the other ohana to turn our bottles in for cash. On the way home, we'd take the money, stop at Arakawa and Star Market in Waipahu, get a sack of rice, some fish, poi, and malasadas, and of course, more Primo. Then go home, talk story, and kanikapila. Good times. Happy Primo memories. Hope it makes a good comeback.
