Why is the the military meddling in every single thing on this planet? I was reading up on instant coffee of all things and saw: "High-vacuum freeze-dried coffee was developed shortly after World War II, as an indirect result of wartime research into other areas." And now I'm afraid that soon enough somebody will tell me that coffee spread all around the globe because of The Great War or some other major human sacrifice.

@kensanata The WWII saw some significant technical developments: the microwave, plastic, nuclear fission (and the atomic bomb), and, actually, the computer.
