Designer Jung Soo Park has managed to drastically improve the functionality and capabilities of the lowly hammer.

How Tupperware Almost Didn’t Make It Into Your Kitchen

Tupperware is a bit like Kleenex; No matter the brand, if it’s a plastic container designed for leftovers, you probably call it by a single brand name.
