Is there a website for the history of shopping, like when certain items came

on the market? When was the first Kit-Kat sold, for example, or the first fish fingers?

Amazon was perhaps the pioneer of website ecommerce:amazon.comThis is a nice read on some of its history:http://www.easternct.edu/depts/amerst/MallsHistory.htmA list of research material regarding shopping:http://www.easternct.edu/depts/amerst/MallsBibl.htm~~

Wikipedia might have some answers to this. You might have to look at individual company's websites also. Many large companies have corporate histories on their websites. It might be a start.Cheers!!

I second the wikipedia and corporate website suggestion. Also, check the Food Network for any of those food history specials they're always airing.
