Rubbermaid-- get it?



No really. Rubber-maid. Get it? How weird is that? Not really that weird, considering the company started in the USA between the wars and around the time of the Great Depression when the plastics industry was developing and the country's class structure was changing; people couldn't afford maids to make their homes as presentable as may have been required for upward mobility. Can't afford a real maid? Get Rubbermaid! (Apparently Rubberwife was already taken by another manufacturer.)
