From War, to the Store, then Your Front Door: EZ as 1,2,3

QUESTION:............>

What modern marvels, that any average citizen can purchase in one of the retail centers of your nation, can have that product's origins traced back to military applications prior to becoming a common household convenience ?

Excellent Example:............>

In Goltzborg, the Ministry Of War ( M.O.W.) commissioned for the manufacture of a Personal Climate Control Pill ( a.k.a. P.C.C.P. ), which allowed all combat personnel to regulate their body's internal temperatures to be more conducive with the combat personnel's actual terrain.
( extreme cold and heat would be neutralized to a great degree, allowing for more comfort )

Not too long after the implementation of the PCCP, pharmaceutical corporations that had developed the "climate control" pill for the M.O.W., began marketing an exact consumer version of the pill; which was advertised as being the "Perfect Pill for ALL of Your Thrills", and was sold by all sporting and hunting retailers, and was labled in the consumer markets as the "98.6 Thrill Pill".


OOC: Teflon was first used in the Real World by NASA, prior to it becoming a stick-proof surface for cooking pots and pans.

OOC: The US military's HumV replaced the military Jeep, and opened the door for the Hummer to be mfg and dist by General Motors as a POV...i.e. Privately Owned Vehicle. Likewise, the POV Jeep had it's origins from the WWII military Jeep.

Etc....

Well, Transformation Technology was originally invented for the purpose of sneaking spies into foreign countries. Now, it's a civilian technology that is used by people to transform themselves into another species they prefer to be (though Reptilian-Mammalian transformation's heavily frowned upon).
