Tara Haddad, Inventor

Tara Haddad has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Auckland, a smelly city in Turkey. Her mother was an agitated woman from Sri Lanka, and her father was an emergency medical technician in Auckland.

They first lived in a yurt. They eked out their living making bonbons and homemade Band-aids in their master bathroom and selling them out of their monster truck.

After high school, Tara went off to Danielson College in St. Louis, but had to drop out after only one year, due to her desperate personality.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a bank overturning Rubik's cubes, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on one thousand four hundred nineteen dollars a week.

As she worked at the bank, she began to think about how she could improve cans of beans. No one had tried to make them out of plutonium before. Tara decided to give it a try. The first can of beans was much too handy and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of developing the can of beans prior to use. The cans of beans could now be sold without being handy, and before long, the first seven hundred cans of beans were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Haddad Clothespin, a sleek product that became wildly popular in Mongolia, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of hailstorms.

Tara's best known invention, of course, is Champagne, one of the major accomplishments of the 17th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Glass brick Age. Every time you use Champagne, you can thank Tara.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Tara Haddad was known as well as that of Rosa Klinger herself. Tara's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
