"Cider" is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented apples, and only apples. Alcoholic beverages can be made from pears, but that drink is known as "perry." The drink was popular in England for centuries but fell out of favor during the second half of the twentieth century. That turned around in the 1990s when the drink was rebranded as pear cider.

Well the Pear cider I bought was without alcohol, but in in the Swedish Systembolaget-System company you can buy pear cider with a high percentage alcohol. Markus

In 1924, major light bulb manufacturers banned together to voluntarily down grade the lifespan of incandescent light bulbs in the US and other countries. They also agreed to fix the price.
This was one of the first multinational planned obsolescence schemes. It did not end until the start of WWII. Here is a nice documentary on it
