Bass penny loafers ahead of Pampers??? The pill is considered a GROOMING product?? And Prozac at the bottom of the GROOMING list? OK-- I want to see who did the voting on this. Very suspicious. Who were these people? Male Martians.

Re Pampers, there were disposable diapers around as far back as the early 1950s. I wonder why Fortune singled out Pampers?

1907 / Vacuum cleaner 1918 / Frigidaire refrigerator 1928 / Home air conditioner 1942 / Permacel duct tape 1946 / Tupperware 1967 / Amana microwave oven They left off no-wax floors, although that might have been a 19th century invention, and washing machines, again, that might be 19th century, and clothes driers, now I am sure those are 20th century. Duct tape is a joke, of course, "real men use duct tape" has passed into the vernacular, but it's really not all that useful, IMO. Tupperware and its imitators are very good things, I can't imagine life without leftovers. Every few nights, we "scrounge" for supper, which means eat whatever's leftover from cooking nights. And how could we eat leftovers without a microwave?
