What was the first product to have its barcode scanned?
The very first scanning of a UPC code was on a pack of Wrigley's chewing gum. In the summer of 1974 a UPC code was scanned for the first time at a grocery market in Ohio. At Marsh supermarket, a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum slid down the conveyer belt to mark the first ever grocery item to be scanned.
What are your thoughts on this subject?

Probably because it is the easiest one to be shoplifted.
