You know it you love it (or hate it) bandaids.
It is useful when you hit the ground or pavement and have a wound that needs covering, band-aids are useful.
The band-aid was made in 1920 by a Johnson and Johnson employee Earle Dickson, regularly his wife Josephine, burned and cut herself while cooking.
Using adhesives he was able to make a prototype. The prototype that Dickson made was used by his wife to put on the burns and cuts.
Dickson gave the idea to his employer before he retired.
By 1924 Johnson and Johnson made Machine made band-aids, and sterilized band-aids by 1939, only in 1951 they added designs of popular brands, like Micky mouse, Marvel, and DC.
In WW2 millions of band-aids were requested and used, Johnson and Johnson said that they have oversold 100 million band-aids worldwide, (yeah they helped in WW2).
So when you have a wound or a cut or burn, it has been a vital piece of everyday use.
