A while back, I was looking up when Reese's Peanut Butter Cups were first introduced to the stores since I remember hearing about the first commercial being in like the 60's or 70's, but when I looked it up on when they were released, I was shocked. They first came out in 1928. I never thought they would be that old. I looked at Cheez-Its next. It was introduced in 1921. What's even more mind-blowing is that Oreos came out in 1912, like two years before World War I. They've been out this long?! We may all enjoy snack foods, but they have been here for a while.

The next few blog entries would probably be about the history of what we see today in modern culture. I wouldn't refer to the actual historical events or movies, but I would refer to mostly foods and inventions.
