Universal Product Codes

On today's date in 1974 the world's first Universal Product Code was scanned at a grocery store in Troy, Ohio. The checkout counter used in the transaction was designed right here in Dayton by NCR (formerly National Cash Register) and the product scanned was a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum which cost 67 cents.
