“We’ve been married so long we’re on our second bottle of Worcestershire sauce”

Wikipedia: Worcestershire sauce
Worcestershire sauce (/ˈwʊstərʃər/ WUUS-tər-shər) is a fermented liquid condiment created in the city of Worcester in Worcestershire, England during the first half of the 19th century. The creators were the chemists John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins, who went on to form the company Lea & Perrins. Worcestershire sauce has been considered a generic term since 1876, when the English High Court of Justice ruled that Lea & Perrins did not own the trademark to “Worcestershire”.

It’s like that old joke about the couple who had been married so long (how long?) that they were on their second bottle of worcestershire sauce…

In the 70’s, the gold standard for marriage longevity was being on your 2nd bottle of Worcestershire Sauce.
