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.

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.

Apocalipstic · 07-07-2011, 02:32 PM

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.

We were in Argentina until 1976, and we used RINSO which also was pretty rough lol.

I agree...now...but when I was little in Argentina outside of Buenos Aires there was no sliced bread...you have to go to the panaderia to get the bread then take it to get it sliced for sandwiches. Same with milk...you bought it one place then took it to another to get it pasturized.

So many things we take for granted now

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:

Heyyy, I need me some of them. lol
I never can find a lid!

OK, so pasturized milk!

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...

When ever I need laughter in my life, especially since some of my close friends are miles away, I often find myself watching videos by: Ask a Ninja!

This masked man has saved my life innumerable times over the past several years... as well as baked bread straight out of the oven, smothered in butter or pesto or jam or any number of wonderful tasting things, one could enjoy.
