It's really interesting seeing what people come up with for products that are generally considered "boring" but actually have a lot of design behind them. 

This is a fun concept to think about. Not just products that were designed on purpose, but ones designed on accident too. Also, what thought processes must have occurred "to put two and two together." 

A product that always baffles me is chopsticks. Essentially, using two sticks to hold all kinds of food, it just doesn't seem as intuitive as forks and spoons (shovel food into your mouth), yet they're not that hard to use after you get the hang of them, and I bet for the most part they're cheaper to make than American utensils.
