June 25th On this day:   Start of The Korean War (1950): This was the day the Korean War began when North Korean troops, supported by the Soviet Union and China, invaded South Korea. The war lasted for three years, marked a significant chapter in Cold War history, and shaped the geopolitical landscape of East Asia.   First Commercial Barcode Scan (1974): On this day, a pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum became the first product ever to be scanned using a barcode at a Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio.

His death sent shockwaves around the world, but his music and iconic dance moves continue to inspire millions to this day. And that's your dose of "This Day in History" - because the past is the best teacher for the future. Enjoy the rest of your day!
