DESIGN

Imagine you are, an engineer working for Tupperware and given the following assignment - design a new container and its food with the following characteristics:

• The container is one color when the contents are not aged sufficiently for peak taste, then changes to a different color when the food is perfect for eating, and changes to a third color when the food inside has gone bad.

• The container is hard to open when the food is not ready to eat and easy to open when the food is ripe.

• The food inside changes texture as it ages. During transport, the food is hard and durable. At peak taste the contents will soften to a perfect texture, and once past prime, it will become soft and gooey.

• The food inside naturally contains a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

• It is easy to produce and transport and billions can be sold at a few pennies per unit.

• The shape allows for single-handed handling, opening, and eating while talking on the phone or conversing with a friend.

• The serving size is perfect for one average adult without waste.

• One last specification is that the food and container are capable of reproducing themselves.

A team of thousands of engineers, working for their entire careers, might as well quit and find other jobs because they have been assigned a humanly impossible task.

Yet, we already have it - the banana! God shows His power through what He has made; He truly is the Master Engineer!
