Good weekend, my fellow corporate drones. This is Chad from HR. Your back-alley meme dealer. Out of 500M daily tweets, only a handful deserve your attention.
Today, we accidentally use the flash and learn who is older than cup holders. Cheers!

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN?
Wheels on suitcases came after the moon landing. The high five wasn’t popularized until 1977. Ciabatta bread was created while Reagan was president
What other stuff was more recently invented? And what other obvious stuff is under our nose now?

A few other “late” inventions:
Barcodes (1974) - The first scanned item ever was a pack of Wrigley’s gum in 1974. Before then, everything in the grocery store used to be priced by hand.
Car Cup Holders (1983) - People drove around for decades just holding their drinks in their laps. The first car to have built-in cup holders? The 1983 Dodge Caravan.
Credit Scores (1989) - Before that? Banks just “had a feeling” about you. Or judged you on how firm your handshake was.

Used to grab a pack of these after my mom drove me to the store without a seat belt. Then I'd go home with one dangling from my lips and hop on my bicycle using only my skull for protection.
