Got an ebay order delivered today and when I opened the box it had yellow/aged newspaper around the chips. Carefully unraveled the newspaper and it was dated Nov. 24, 1963 and the headline was about Pres. Kennedy assassination. Who would keep newspaper that long and if so, and in this case a memorable date who would use it as wrapping?

Actually, I have that newspaper right behind me in a box I found at my Mom's place before she died. L.A. Times, I believe. I have no idea what to do with it. I'd thought to donate it to a school to help with teaching history, but since they no longer teach history, what's the point.

Someone kept the newspaper for a while. Someone else used it as wrapping.

Seems like they're teaching them: hate, diversity and entitlement, nothing that will help them in life! I don't recognize this country anymore.

Noted that everyone seems focused on the date of the newspaper. Myself I would be more curious why they would be using a newspaper of any sort.
You read the newspaper then either throw it away or recycle it some way. Yes people still read the actual paper paper...we do!

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

So you are suggesting that the vendor has been using newspaper that they have been saving for 80 years (at least) and now they have reached that far into the stack?
Or maybe they haven't shipped anything in a LONG time. Hints of RUMPLESTILTSKIN (sp.)
