This is a vintage installation and promotional kit for the Peapod online grocery shopping service, co-branded with the Randalls supermarket chain.
Dating back to approximately 1996 or 1997 (indicated by the coupon expiration date of April 30, 1997), this kit represents the early days of e-commerce when grocery delivery software had to be physically installed on a computer via disk before a user could order online using a dial-up modem.
What's Included in the Kit:
-
3.5-Inch Floppy Disk: The physical installation medium for the Peapod software. The label provides simple, three-step instructions for Windows users to run the setup file (a:setup or b:setup).
-
Tri-Fold Instructional Brochure:
-
Installation Steps: Walkthrough instructions on how to install, open, and start shopping with the software.
-
System Requirements: A nostalgic look at mid-90s tech standards, requiring Windows 3.1 or Mac System 7, a 386 or faster processor, 4MB of RAM, and a 9,600 baud or faster modem.
-
Shopping Shortcuts: A guide explaining how to navigate the software interface, sort items by price or category, view virtual product pictures, and use the "Personal List" feature.
-
Promotional Insert: A marketing flyer offering a "Free Delivery" coupon to incentivize new users to try the service, alongside a referral program offering gifts to members who share the disk with friends.
Open sleeve - Unused. I have another one like this that has been not been opened on a separate listing.
