The Mayflower
When I was growing up, my parents had these old Mayflower moving boxes in the basement and in the attic that we stored things in. To be sure (as Dr. Tegeder says), it's not an unusual thing to store things in cardboard boxes. But because they said "Mayflower" on the side, I was convinced that we were descended from the Pilgrims who came to Plymouth on the Mayflower. I guess I had the thought that the Mayflower would have provided the Pilgrims with cardboard boxes with the Mayflower logo to store their crap in. And that said boxes would have survived more than 350 years to arrive in my parents' basement. Of course now, years later, I know that that's not true. The boxes that the Pilgrims on the Mayflower used to store their crap in had a totally different logo.
