This is the third thread I've started on this kind of innovation. They all come from the same source http://priceonomics.com/ which, in its blog, has some really inspiring stories behind the everyday stuff most Americans just take for granted.

Everything was invented by someone.

Sliced Bread? - https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/best-thing-since-sliced-bread.56390/

Slurpees? - https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/slurpees-a-licensing-cinderella-story.51631/

The Slinky - http://priceonomics.com/the-invention-of-the-slinky/

And now - Scotch tape: http://priceonomics.com/the-man-who-invented-scotch-tape/
