These multipurpose glass jars may only have become familiar sites in restaurants and residences across the country in recent years, but they have actually been around since the late 1800s. A pioneer in the art of perfecting food preservation, John Landis Mason invented the unmistakeable canning jar in 1858. In 1884, Mason's design was licensed by Ball Corporation, which manufactures the jars still to this day.

This soulful staple of jazz, blues, and rock 'n' roll music didn't just blow in out of thin air. It was invented and patented in 1846 by Belgian instrument maker Adolphe Sax. As The Metropolitan Museum of Art explains, Sax was looking to fill a void created by the lack of a "robust lower voice" within the wind instrument family.

Unless you're a ballerina or gymnast, it's unlikely you know the history behind the invention of this elastic-like clothing item. It is said to have been created by French circus performer Jules Léotard, who is also known for inventing the flying trapeze routine. In need of a costume that afforded him the maximum level of flexibility necessary to perform his routines, Léotard took matters into his own hands and made himself a skin-tight, one-piece garment that still goes by his last name.
