Not to mention that Google was founded in 1998. Prior to Google there really wasn’t an easy way to search out knowledge, let alone e-commerce being a thing. But the first credited search engine that I know of is Archie, which was created in 1990. This story takes place 6 years before I was born: in 1975. Either this story is completely fabricated, or the names & details have been changed to protect the innocent. Such as the “dad” in the story is actually OP, and this story actually happened within the last few years.

OP wasn’t saying they googled it at the time, they’re suggesting the reader should google it to find out what the item looks like

So? None of these things are mentioned in the story.
FWIW I'm slightly suspicious of the writer's story, but not because of... the age of Google and e-commerce?

Re-read the post. OP is telling Redditors to Google it. He didn't say they Googled it in 1975.
