ON THIS DAY
On this date in 1871, Henry W. Bradley received a patent for oleomargarine. He originally wanted to call it, "I can't believe I didn't invent butter."
On this date in 1888, the drinking straw was patented.
Until that day, nobody but you knew when you had reached the end of your soda.
To think, the world existed all those years without the end of the soft drink slurping noise.
If you didn't use it for drinking, makes you wonder what they used it for before?
It proved much easier to use than the eating straw.
In 1943, the very first missing persons report was broadcast in New York City. Hard to believe people didn't disappear until 1943.
On this date in 1957, the first electric wristwatch was patented. Finally, a timepiece that you didn't have to wind that could go with you as far as the extension cord reached.
