A year later, in 1974, a pack of Wrigleyâs chewing gum became the first item to be scanned with a UPC bar code. According to GS1 (Global Standards One), the agency which issues bar code numbers, there are now about 5 billion bar codes scanned every day around the world. Laurer and Woodlandâs original bar codes have spawned a whole bunch of other bar codes that are used for all kinds of things.
Woodland was an employee at the time of IBM. In June 1974, one of the first UPC scanner, made by NCR Corp. (which was then called National Cash Register Co), was installed at Marsh's supermarket in Troy, Ohio. On June 26, 1974, the first product with a bar code was scanned at a check-out counter. It was a 10-pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum. The pack of gum wasn't specially designated to be the first scanned product.
