This has to be one of the craziest Google Doodles ever! Google is celebrating the invention of the bar code with a new doodle! As per Wiki, the patent for barcode was issued on 7 October 1952.
Doodles are Google’s unique way to show its respect for great people, inventions and events. This Barcode doodle has to be the most minimalistic doodle ever! Hats off!
