Recently, Leo found this great can of peaches at the supermarket. We both think they look like they're leftovers from 40 or 50 years ago. But with a UPC symbol on the back, that is clearly not the case.I was having trouble getting a good photo of them with our ever-disappointing camera (although I do love how Henry is in the background). So I was searching the web hoping to find an Early Garden website and I stumbled onto AFILER!
This site has lots of photos of outdated retro looking products you can still find on supermarket shelves - not because they are past their sellby date, but because they are examples of "Extant Design."
UPC labels came in sometime during the late seventies, as I recall. That would date your can of peaches to about 30 years or so. I hope you're not disappointed.
