There are people in this world who deserve special recognition and often they go unrewarded and anonymous. These people make our lives easier and in the case of my example here, less messy as well. :)

My choice for the unheralded award of excellence goes to the fellow (or gal) who discovered the immense value of have one cup lid size for different size cups. My God how brilliant, I can have a Tall, Grande or Venti cup of coffee with the same lid. I can even have small, medium, large or x-large soda again with the same lid. In my cafeteria at work I can get three sizes of soup, all with the same lid. Will the inventiveness of mankind never end? ;)

Make light of it if you will, but this is a big deal, perhaps even environmentally correct. I know for sure that not having to figure out if I have the right lid and no longer standing in a store embarrassed trying to fit the wrong lid on my cup of soda with the result of spilling its contents down my shirt quiets the stress in my life. :o

So hats off to the lid guy (or gal) and to others who make us less stressful. The rubber garlic peeler, the vacuum packed jar lid popper, the edgeless can opener and above all microwave popcorn all deserve kudos as well.

Never mind getting us to the moon, I just want to get through the day. :-6

My award goes to the person who designed the blue-tooth hands free for cell phones for when your driving.

Also the person who put a cup holder in my car for cups of hot coffee.

Oh and the cigg lighter in the car.

Necessity..............the mother of invention:



Pull tabs on Cans









And then...........





The Ring Pull Can Opener uses a little leverage to easily pull back lids with pull tabs! Easily handles single serving pull tab lids.

Makes opening canned pet foods easy - even with arthritis!

Great for people with limited hand strength or finger dexterity.
