Price check! I need a price check on aisle TRIVIA QUIZ!
Today is Guiding Light Day, marking the show's move from radio to television on this date in 1952, making it the longest lasting daytime show and the longest lasting series on TV.
Today is also National Chocolate Pudding Day. Hooray, we're back to desserts!!
On this day in 1981, Virginia Campbell of Mountain Home, Idaho, took her coupons and rebates and bought $26,460 worth of groceries. She paid only 67 cents. She would have received a refund of $12.97, but she decided to get film and flashbulbs after the bill was totaled.
On this day in 1999, A 2-year-old rooster named Henry crowed 42 times in 30 minutes to win 46th annual Rooster Crow in Rogue River, Oregon. The record 112 crows was 7set by a rooster named White Lightning in 1978. Anybody want to go with me to this event next year??
How's about some trivia? Today is Bar Code Day, because back in 1974, the first bar code was scanned at a grocery store. What product was scanned? Bonus points if you can name the Ohio town where this took place.
Good luck :)

This is a total guess (you think?), but I'm going to say that it was a box of diapers in Euclid, Ohio. Do I at least get a lovely consolation prize?
It was actually Wrigley's Doublemint gum in Troy, Ohio. I'm sure it really sped up the process :)
Let's see...consolation prizes...I'll have to work on that one!
