“We all know the Snooze button. The Snooze button was first marketed in 1956 by General Electric-Telechron. The Snooz-Alarm. (Hey, it’s the 50th anniversary of the Snooze button! Where’s the parade?) Telechron made a wide variety of clocks from about 1917 until 1959, merging and unmerging with General Electric along the way. (Visit telechron.net for all the details.) In 1959, Westclox marketed the Drowse. Notice the separate buttons for 5 or 10 minutes. And as usual, a woman’s finger pushing it.”
