- DeHaan Orange Drink Carton - The quest for a shatter-proof milk container prompted John Van Wormer to patent a paper carton in 1915. Many processors and distributors continued to use breakable glass bottles, but, after 1937, mechanized production made the disposable, wax-coated folded cartons inexpensive and indispensable liquid containers. The iconic design, a box with a gable-end top that, when opened, creates a pouring spout, remains the industry standard today.

- Blow Off Valve, circa 2000 - "Tuners," speed loving kids of the early 1990s, chose inexpensive compact cars to "tune" for speed and handling. In turbocharged cars, blowoff valves minimized split-second power drop while shifting gears -- if you're racing, that matters. Many of these valves made a loud "whoosh" sound; their bright colors stood out when installed in the engine. Tuners wanted the valves to be heard and seen.
