If it was available back then, it was purchased. Otherwise, why supply it?

You can go to Costco on a Saturday and fill up on samples. I've actually bought stuff cause I liked the sample so their strategy worked.

That is fricking fantastic.

We spend money on cars, and people in the fourth century didn't. I also spent money on an iPhone, and cavemen didn't. shite, cavemen in 2001 didn't.
