- McDonald's "Super Size" French Fry Packet, 1996 - During the 1990s, customers could "Super Size" their French fries and drinks. These larger portions, along with their high fat, calorie, and salt content, made fast food the target of reports linking it to health problems from obesity to heart disease. Fast food chains responded in different ways to counteract this negative publicity. McDonald's phased out the "Super Size" portions in 2004.

- Container - Tin-plated iron, commonly called "tin," was the dominant material for utilitarian items in 19th-century America. It was lightweight, inexpensive, easy to clean, non-toxic, and durable. Tinware also resisted corrosion and had a pleasing silvery appearance that could be enhanced through decoration. Middle-class Americans happily purchased tinware in place of goods made from earlier materials, like wood or pottery.
