“Legend has it that the first item with a barcode was a pack of Wrigley’s gum. This isn’t quite true. The first item scanned in a retail establishment was at 8:01 a.m. on June 26, 1974, and was a 10-pack of Juicy Fruit chewing gum. The entire shopping cart also had barcoded items in it, but the gum was merely the first one picked up by the cashier.”
