Default Name me one product in the world that has not changed

From the initial launch ???

Following on from this thread
https://www.scoobynet.com/non-scooby...ml#post9197860

There may have been some slight tweeks, but from day one, it has not changed.

I can only think of the Etch-a-Sketch
Maybe the knife, fork and spoon at a push

Anymore ??

I vaguely remember something on the news a while back about the packaging for Lyle's Golden Syrup not changing for the last 125 years or so...

Loads of old toys haven't changed. Just think board games, airfix kits, Rubik cube etc.

Also depends what time scale you're talking about: 10 years, 100 years, 1000 years? I guess Coca-Cola and various branded alcoholic drinks have been around a long time.

Airfix-yes
Rubik cube -yes
Board games - no as they have made different versions of them like mousetrap, monopoly etc

Drinks, well I dont think we can count them as there so many different types of lets say sugared water etc, though I agree a certain whiskey might count. Tricky one

Time line - lets say the last 100 years

VHS Cassettes and audio cassettes
Household batteries
Incandescent light bulbs
In fact the basic design of most generic items haven't changed since launched. However, if you are talking about specific branded product how about :
Swan Vesta matches
Marmite
Corn Flakes
Jacobs Cream Crackers

doh, spent too long thinking....wothers orignals?
