These Guys Have Been Exchanging The Same Birthday Card For 47 Years
Everybody likes to receive birthday cards, but let’s face it, the world’s trees could probably be used for something more important. Like, you know, providing air for the planet. But Bill and Steve are doing their own little bit to save the environment because they’ve been exchanging the same birthday card for the last 47 years.
The proof was recently uploaded to Reddit by user LincolnsLostSpeech who revealed that the card belonged to their fiance’s uncle and cousin. It was bought way back in 1970 for a paltry 25 cents and they’ve shared it every birthday since (that’s 94 times!). They’ve also now shared it with at least 750,000 other people who have viewed it online since the card was uploaded. Like this story? Then click here for two brothers who have shared the same card for over 40 years.

I'm amazed it never got lost. I love the running joke nobody buys me cards because I think think it's a waste ($5 - $10 in cardstock and glitter it's insane) I hope that this card makes it to its 100th birthday. cute story

My mom and her childhood friend sent each other the same card back and forth for almost 54 years. They occasionally had to get a new envelop

Bill & Steve should have a lifetime of greeting cards from the card company. This is most excellent advertising for them too!

yeah, so good they are probably out of business since everyone keeps reusing the same cards
