Created in 1907, the Cardboard Box was made to be the ultimate companion for anyone who bought it. And, at the beginning of its creation, it succeeded in doing so. However, after the Great Cardboard Burnings of 1922, a different purpose was proposed: use as a storage device. This concept became widely accepted and borgught the box to where it is today. Ferom that time, other, alternative uses have been created, however, they are not as popular.

Creation and Early Years

It all started out when Mr. Adams was awfully bored. And yes, his first name is "Mr.". Due to his boredom, he decided that he would need a good friend to hang out with. And, so, he set out to his garage to make an ultimate companion; someone that would always be there, someone who would always love you and play games with you and cry with you and make fun of your obscene hair. After hours in the grage, he created something so beautiful, something so useful, something so... so... brown. The carboard box.

The Box as a Companion

Mr. Adams had such a fun time running around with his box. Even though it wasn't alive and couldn't move, Adams still found ways to have fun with it. Take, for example, his first day of activities with it. He went around, playing games such as Monopoly (Which he absolutely anihilated at), Sorry (Don't get me started about that slaughter), and Something Stupid This Way Cometh. Realizing that his box wouldn't roll the dice, Adams decided to take it outside to play some baseball. This event got quite tedious after a while; Mr. Adams had to keep running after the ball in the street after the box would continue not to catch it. Still, despite the ball's poor efforts at being the best companion one could have, Mr. Adams loved it to death, and decided to start his own product line made entirely of cardboard boxes for people to get as companions.

The box was realeased to stores in 1908. After it's realease it was an immediate success; the stores were full and the boxes were off the shelves in less than an hour.

They put "This Way Up" on it for a reason fool.
