    I used to love those as a kid, but purchased a bunch as an adult and they were not as I recalled.

    I gifted them to the local food bank.

    Boy, there are so many daily things I take for granted.

    I agree with toilet paper. I've often said I would like to live in simpler times, but only if I could take modern medicine and Charmin with me.

    The computer and TV are a mixed blessing, but the downsides are mostly due to [lack of] self-management.

    I like the remote control. When I was growing up, we always used "the youngest child."

    Water heaters are nice. As are washing machines. And dish washers.

    Hal mentioned tools. I often recall the first [awkward] screw-holding and ratchet screwdrivers when I use my battery operated drill/screw gun.

    I don't use Walmart's grocery pickup, but the only app I have on my phone is the Walmart one. I can be in the store, look up an item, see which aisle it's in, how much it costs, and how many they have on hand (if any.)
    You can scan a UPC on any product (there or in any store) and it will also bring up all that data...real handy for price comparing when I'm at the competition. I looked up a price for a woman just a couple of days ago. She thought I worked there and asked the cost on a self-assemble settee. I pulled out my phone, scanned the UPC and told her.

    Lastly, I'd have to say my stand mixer. If not for that, I would never bake bread and rolls. Now I bake them all the time.

    Seriously ? ?
    I had no idea you could just go to Walmart and shop for a soulmate !
    Kidding ; but when I read that, I just started laughing , and am still chuckling to myself about it. We need more stories like this one, so what ELSE have you been looking up a price for on your Walmart app, besides a woman, @John Brunner ?

    Smart aleck! ;)

    You know, I added her to my Cart, but when I saw how much Maintenance Plans were, she got Removed. Then there were all the caveats in the guarantee. And the cost to return...

    That app is mostly enabled by their Curbside Pickup program. They had to revamp and organize every store because those stores are now effectively warehouses that the Order Pickers need to be able to easily find product in. (You may have noticed the new Aisle markers.) Once they did that, they put the consumer front end on that same database.

    I once asked a Walmart person where a product was that I could not find, and as we were searching I remembered I had that app on my phone. I looked it up and located it for both of us.

    As I said, you can scan any UPC Bar Code in any store, and if Walmart has that product in their database, you get all the data (including price) for the Walmart store you've set as Default. Great way to compare sale prices.

    ps: If my county had a bowling alley or a movie theatre, I wouldn't give a tinker's damn about this. But it doesn't. So I do. 'Cause it's all we got.
