One of the things I love about #capitalism is how often the desire to develop or serve a given market (in order to, gasp, make a profit, sin of sins) leads to a product being accessible and useful to another market. Pre-cut fruit, apparently for lazy people, is also apparently a nice option for people with certain #disabilities. The cheap PET plastic bottle? VERY popular with #ultralight #camping enthusiasts. There are examples all around you of this effect, if you look for them..
