What's something your area introduced to the world?

For instance, remember Phar-Mor? Yeah, that started in Youngstown. Handel's Ice Cream? Youngstown.

But perhaps the name you'll know the most... Arby's.

My city created the first ever bicycle and invented the jet engine.
Also London black cabs are actually made in Coventry and we invented traffic indicators for cars. Another thing is that Coventry is the home of britains first military tank. :o
Shame how downhill my city has gotten :/

My city gave you all zippers, the ferris wheel, vacuums, and dishwashers. You're welcome.
