Cups. Imagine trying to have a cup of coffee without a cup? You’d literally be pouring boiling coffee into your cupped hands, which means rather than a pleasant caffeine rush each time you made coffee – you’d have to immediately go to Accident and Emergency and get bandaged up. See? Cups are really great, aren’t they?

People. Imagine trying to have a conversation with someone when there literally aren’t any people. The situation would only be exacerbated by the fact that you yourself wouldn’t exist, so you would have the first building block of a conversation because you wouldn’t be there. Yeah?

The BBC. Imagine going home after a long day at the office and attempting to watch Eastenders without the invention of the BBC? It just wouldn’t happen. You’d have 17.5 million soap addicts just staring at the corners of their living rooms, making half-hearted comments about what inclement weather we’re having. The BBC is a remarkable piece of product design.

Land. If no one had gone to the trouble of making land, we’d all be literally floating around in a rather unimpressive dead way. Just imagine trying to drive cars around and avoid bailiffs without good old land propping your little legs up. Chairs, cups, people, BBC, Land – thank goodness, eh?
