The best thing invented since sliced bread is ___________________ And History of it.

[AtLast]

Although I have problems with the environmental concerns about plastics in general (and how all plastics bring us to more oil use), as someone that has severe arthritis in the hands, "Zip-Lock" bags are helpful I mean the real "zip-lock" kinds. I wash and re-use them and usually put things in a container in the fridge that can be washed, but sometimes these just work the best.

Always a dilemma with some of these things!!


History
Ziploc brand zipper storage bags were introduced by Dow Chemical Company. According to Dow's website, the first Ziploc bags were test-marketed in 1968. This was the first time that the resealable bag was marketed as a way to keep food fresh. However, in 1954, a company called Minigrip, purchased the license to manufacture a resealable zipper bag. According to Minigrip's website, it manufactured the "first integral zipper plastic bag in the United States" in 1959. It wasn't until 1968 when the technology was licensed by Dow Chemical Company to be used for food storage.

I cannot believe it took us 'til now to come up with dildos.

Conditioner and Creme Rinse!

I remember back in the 60's when we just had shampoo and my long hair was always a rats nest and it hurt so bad to have my tangles washed out.

The first such product I remember was Johnson & Johnson No More Tears...it was a miracle to me.

The washing machine!

I remember when we got our first one shipped from the US to Argentina. I remember watching everything be washed by hand on a stone wash boad.

I.would.hate.that.

Dryers too....yes, sheets smell sweet after hanging out in the sun...but with work, who has time (or even wants to)? Especially in places where it rains a lot....like here.

I remember both my Mom and grandmother using washboards! i thin washers were on the market, but they didn't get one until they could afford it. Same with a television.

Plus, do you remember when "Borax" was about the only clothes detergent around? Very harsh on skin.

My grannie had a wood burning stove to cook on even when mom bought her a new fangled gas stove she didnt use it till grandpa finaly hauled the old stove out of the house and installed the gas one.Grannie didnt like it,wouldnt cook on it cause she said the food didnt cook or taste the same.Finaly she got the hang of the thing but never really liked it.

feminine hygiene products...specifically tampons! While i am past ever needing one again, I remember as a girl the HORROR of having to strap a pad on me and hoping to god it didnt shift and create a "mistake". Tampons, were said to destroy virginities. Thank god. One more thing I had the control over and didnt have to relinguish...

That said...these have become one of my favorite new thingys. "Plastic land" ( that storage area we all have to keep up with plastic containers and lids) as we call it drives me nuts and we always lose one or both parts of the set...soooooo:
