Q: This century old Canadian invention is responsible for the saving money and preventing food waste. What is it?
A: The cardboard egg carton.
Thanks to Joseph Coyle of British Columbia, people all over the world literally don’t have to put all their eggs in one basket. In 1911, after hearing about a delivery of broken eggs, Coyle “hatched” the Canadian invention of a cardboard carton containing individual pockets to protect eggs from knocking into each other and breaking, while being transported.
