Did you get it right?
This 1950s laundromat shows folding tables, coin machines, soap boxes, wire baskets, towels, a wall clock, and old product signs. Two small details are too new.
The Answer
The correct answer is: The two mistakes are the tear-strip edge on the detergent pouch and the molded plastic fabric-softener cap..
Here is why
- The powder boxes, metal machines, wire baskets, towels, and signs fit the period.
- Look closely at the detergent packaging and the small cap shape.
- The tear-strip pouch edge and molded softener cap are modern packaging clues.
Why people miss it
Laundry shelves have always been crowded with boxes and containers. Familiar product shapes make the newer packaging easy to accept.
