The first? Without going to Google, I wouldn't have a clue.
I've read that the MacCormick horse drawn reaper may have been the invention that made the most social change in our history. Prior to that, wheat was cut by hand using a scythe. Thousands fled farms to the cities (mainly Chicago) and all hell broke loose. (The outfit it became International Harvester)
But the first? Bottled Coke?
