The bar code of course. Anyone who is old enough to remember the girl at the local grocery store, throwing a package of sanitary somethings in the air and yelling PRICE CHECK!!!!!!!!! As the bag boy turns red and seems to want to crawl into a brown paper poke. Yep has to be the bar code.

1952 The first patent for bar codes is issued to Joseph Woodland and Bernard Silver.

Of course we didn't benefit from this invention until much later than 1952.

This great- all the posts- I am nodding like crazy!! You all RAWK!

Suebee (grated cheeze) reminded me of pre-washed produce- especially lettuce. Saves time and water!!

This blurb on "Ford's Produce Co." is fun- they were the first to do pre-washed spinach. Looks like this came to be in the mid-1980's.
