I was eating pizza the other day when my mind got to thinking about that little plastic tripod used to keep larger pizza boxes from caving in. It’s the kind of invention no one thinks about because of how simple it is, yet it’s a smart, cheap solution. After a bit of googling, I found out that it was invented and patented as a “package saver” in the early 80s by a woman named Carmela Vitale from Dix Hills, N.Y. I would’ve loved to have found more back story on how she came up with it, but the patent is all I could find.
