Are you sure you didn't just buy drops that were about to expire? 28 days doesn't sound right for any shelf-stable product.

It's recommended to discard eye drops 28 days AFTER OPENING. Big distinction. They're shelf-stable for a long time, but there are things in the drops to inhibit bacteria growth and keep them sterile. That begins to break down about 28 days after opening and exposing the drops to air. So yeah, you might want to discard old eye drops that you've been using for a while. But the new packages in the store won't have an expiration or sell-by date inside 28 days.

The first arm watch was received by Elizabeth the first in 1571, from a man named Robert Dudley.

And if I can remember. The watch was made popular thanks to WWI. Same goes for the trench coat.

Johnny Cash served in the air force in the 1950's and was pretty good at interpreting Morse code from the Soviet Union. Turns out Johnny Cash was the first person to hear of Joseph Stalin's death.

the first credit card was used in 1928.

It looked like a giant dog tag, with a little paper card on the back.

I looked that up and it appears the first credit card that could be used in multiple institutions was Diner's Club in 1950. Do you have a source for the 1928 card?

Cashiers in the Soviet Union were still tallying totals with abacuses into the 1950s.

Titanic tragedy in 1914 sold the masses in the U.S. on radio broadcasting. Some radio operator atop an New York City building picked up the Titanic's distress signal. And then kept the public informed as search vessels radioed in news. Apparently no one had given serious thought to radio broadcasting's potential to attract audiences.
