Today on "How is it made" there was the information about cotton swabs and its inventor....
Who was it?

No takers?
Just a wild guess - I am asuming that the person responsible was Polish-American?

Guys, it is not that difficult. This guy was probably Jewish-Polish-German American, but he is usually listed as Polish-American.

Jaga its hard if you don't know the answer. I was going to say Johnson and Johnson ;D but that isn't Polish...okay in 1923 Leo Gerstenzang invented the cotton swab after seeing his wife wrap cotton around a stick to clean hard areas. (So in reality she did but he gets the credit).
I guess Americans have much to be thankful to us Poles and the ladies as what would we do without our swabs when doing our makeup.
