VESTA -vs- THE BAD BOX

During World War II, Vesta Stoudt watched ammunition boxes rattle down the line at the Green River Ordnance Plant. Soldiers needed to open them fast, but the thin paper tabs snapped off too easily. “Someone should fix this,” her coworkers said. Vesta wiped her hands on her apron. Someone almost always meant, no one. So, she tried a stronger cloth tape and It worked. She showed supervisors and while they nodded, politely, they did nothing. That night, at her kitchen table, Vesta wrote a letter, not to her boss, but straight to President Franklin D. Roosevelt – complete with hand-drawn diagrams. Weeks later, a reply finally arrived. Vesta’s idea was approved and production began. And that’s when the world learned the twist:The woman who simply wanted soldiers to open a box faster had accidentally invented something that would go on to hold together leaky pipes, broken furniture, squeaky cars, wobbly fences, and half the world’s questionable home repairs. Duct tape. Her small wartime fix became everyone’s peacetime fix. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role? Nothing at all.
