When did bar codes first appear on American products?
When did bar codes first appear on American products?
Was it 1981? Can you also tell me what month?
Best answer:
1966
” It was not until 1966 that barcodes were put to commercial use and they were not commercially successful until the 1980s.”
I guess it was in a store called “Kroger” in Cinncinati
here’s a couple histories of the bar code

By mid-1981 the figure was 10 percent; three years later it was 33 percent, and today more than 60 percent are so equipped.
No month is mentioned Dave, I just copied the bit about the growth.
Note the bit about the 2′ ones the USN use.
