Plastic milk cartons.
The combination of plastic, milk and adorable little hands has undoubtedly reduced the amount of spilled milk and has probably reduced the incidence of child abuse.
How 'bout those juices that come in little paper cartons, along with a little straw that Junior can punch into the carton?
Only so long as you don't buy the squishable kind. Yaya can really get some distance with those suckers.

I use to use it to re-bind the spines of books that were falling apart. Shoe Goop was perfect because it was flexible enough to allow the book to be opened and closed regularly, but tough enough that it wouldn't wear out.
pillow cases.
pillow cases are good.
Ziploc bags.
I don't even remember what we used to do before ziploc bags. We carry 'em in the car, in our luggage, camping...everywhere.
Chocolate flavored condoms?
I am an ecological snob. Little boxes of juice are overpracticed and overpriced.
Further, that little straw does not automatically puncture the box.
Still, compared to some modern innovations, little boxes of juice are harmless.

Not an earth shaking invention, but one that I find very useful. In fact, the clear end negates the necessity to open the tube before purchasing, so that you can see exactly what you are getting.
What little invention, that won't make the inventor famous, or even make a line in a newspaper, do you find very useful in your daily life?
I wish I could recall the manufacturer -- it may have been Revlon -- that made lipstick with a mirrored end to the cover.
That stuff that makes you really confident and attractive. And funny.
What is that stuff?
