Two Things Are Wrong at This 1970s Sewing Counter: Answer

Did you get it right?

This sewing-counter puzzle shows thread spools, fabric bolts, pattern envelopes, button cards, and a clerk helping a customer. Two small packaging details do not fit the 1970s setting.

The Answer

The correct answer is: The modern resealable zipper pouch of spare buttons and the modern recycling icon on the thread package are the two wrong items..

Here is why

1. The thread, fabric bolts, paper patterns, measuring tape, and old counter fit the sewing shop scene.
2. The first wrong detail is the modern resealable zipper pouch holding spare buttons.
3. The second wrong detail is the modern recycling icon printed on a thread package.

Why people miss it

Both clues are ordinary shop-counter packaging. They blend in better than a phone or screen, so people need to inspect the labels.
