Because I need something that's already built in

Bonus post, but not really, since I forgot to do anything last week. This little gem I found in Dominick's, it's a tuna and veggie "Press & Strainer", although based on the text size on the packaging I would have to claim that the product is really called a Tuna & Veggie which sounds appetizing. Too bad its a blue plastic disc that doesn't need to exist.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure everyone else uses the lid to a can to also drain the can. I might be making that up though. This blue product is already built into the packaging of tuna and canned foods so why would I ever need this product.

I can admit that when I was a kid I would have died to have this product. I remember walking down the soda aisle and begging my mom for a special top which keeps sodas (pop for those who speak strangely) from going flat. My mom always responded with a no, but not because it wasn't a clever invention. The reason she gave was that our family of four finishes a two-liter bottle before it goes flat- there's no need. I guess the point of this post is that products should fulfill a need. This Tuna & Veggie doesn't offer me anything. In fact, its just another thing I'd have to clean, plus- where would I put it?

  1. Good point. A lot of products are designed and make into the market to add convinience in our life. But, are they really needed to improve quality of our life?
