[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll add this one: No microwaves. It took effort to make a make a meal, warm up a snack, or reheat leftovers. [/quote] Someone pointed out upthread how much early microwaves cost. It was a HUGE DEAL when my family got one in the 1970s. "In today’s world, the first microwave’s price tag of $2,000–$3,000 would equate to the price of a brand new car – approximately $18,000-$27,000 (according to dollartimes.com). That high figure stopped families from mass-adopting the microwave until 1971, when the price became a little friendlier at $329–$450. If you ask us, that price is still pretty outlandish, amounting to $2,000–$3,000 in 2017," https://www.metv.com/lists/6-vintage-microwave-ads-show-the-evolution-of-nuking-your-food [/quote]
