Tonight I put some stale bread ends in the blender to make breadcrumbs, and was reminded of my lightbulb moment when I read that in the old days they would use a grater to get crumbs (and my other lightbulb moment when I read that a grater was often made out of a piece of metal that was pierced with a nail numerous times).
So what were your lightbulb moments, when you realized that some tool/appliance you use often hasn't been around forever, and they must have done something different in the *before-time* to achieve the needed result? Now, I will admit that I am older than many (most?) of you, so your moments may just seem like early memories for me, but I'm sure that anything added to this theme will be new to at least one of us. And this info may be useful at some future date.
