Why is it called the Apple Box?

Years ago I brought home a gift for my wife, a beautiful little tissue box with apples pictured on the side. I purchased the little box at the Washington State History Museum in Tacoma. The problem was, standard-sized tissues didn't fit into it!! SO ... the box was kind of useless.

Then I thought, "This little box would make a great box to collect the questions we were encouraging TRACK kids to ask!" So ... the little tissue box found a new job as TRACK's amazing Apple Box!

And yours is the 209th question to find its way into the Apple Box!
