Two Mistakes on This 1960s Grocery Counter: Answer

Did you get it right?

This grocery-counter puzzle shows a produce scale, paper bags, handwritten price cards, celery, canned peaches, and an old coupon booklet. Two small details are too modern.

The Answer

The correct answer is: The plastic produce-bag twist tie and the nutrition-facts style peel strip are the two mistakes..

Here is why

  1. The produce scale, paper bags, celery, canned peaches, and price cards fit the 1960s grocery scene.
  2. Look near the celery bundle and the handwritten price cards.
  3. The twist tie and nutrition-facts style strip are newer retail-packaging clues.

Why people miss it

Grocery counters are full of tags, paper, string, produce, and labels, so the modern pieces do not jump out unless you check the materials.
