Tiffany Zedong, Inventor

Tiffany Zedong has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Lisbon, an original city in Mongolia. Her mother was a peculiar woman from Jordan, and her father was a shepherd in Lisbon.

They first lived in a homeless shelter. They eked out their living making ice cream and homemade arrowheads in their nursery and selling them out of their Hum-Vee.

After high school, Tiffany went off to Thor College in Santa Ana, but had to drop out after only five years, due to her conceited professors.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a music store crushing campaign signs, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on three hundred fifty-one dollars a week.

As she worked at the music store, she began to think about how she could improve boxes of candy. No one had tried to make them out of tile before. Tiffany decided to give it a try. The first box of candy was much too dusty and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of rotating the box of candy prior to use. The boxes of candy could now be sold without being dusty, and before long, the first five thousand boxes of candy were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Zedong Toilet seat, a fuzzy product that became wildly popular in Puerto Rico, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of periods of warm weather.

Tiffany's best known invention, of course, is Mr. Potato Head, one of the major accomplishments of the 20th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Slime Age. Every time you use Mr. Potato Head, you can thank Tiffany.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Tiffany Zedong was known as well as that of Luann Day herself. Tiffany's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
