Yall ever come up with some of them genius ideas, only to find out you shoulda thought them through a little better? Yeah, I've had a bunch of hair brained ideas that never panned out to much. Little stuff, like cleaning fish using an electric sander... which is actually a bad idea (it's not quicker nor cleaner). I've learned it aint a good idea to give a laxative to a cat, no matter how stopped-up he seems. I thought I was a genius when I came up with the three-way mirror. Turns out nobody wants to watch folks, watch you, watching others, etc. Yeah, it confused me too. Let’s see, other inventions… Glow in the dark toothpaste. I tried to trademark a “Jiggle the Handle” sign. And since the kids these days are buying new hats that come out of the store looking like a dog chewed them up, I figured there may be a market for a pre-stained t-shirt line… there won’t. The One-Stop movie rental, slurpee, and bait & ammo shop never got approved for a small business loan. The Denture holder for dishwashers was a wash. Oh yeah; and the Spare-Underwear Caddy for your car was not real popular at the flea-market. I even had the slogan and everything. “Never trust a fart.” Oh well, one day something will come along.
FIL tried to get a business loan for a fluorescent light-bulb clean-up kit, which he thought we be a huge hit because of all the hype about them being dangerous if they break. Didn't sound that bad until you got a look at the kit... which was pretty much a rubber glove, cheap surgical mask, ziplock bag and handy-wipe. I don't think even Billy Mays could pitch that one. I had a cosmetologist tell me the other day that she had applied for a patent for a mascara wand that would revolutionize the application of mascara. I'm not real sure how much you can revolutionize a mascara wand, but I may never know since she refused to give details while the patent is pending. My sister owns a pair of glow in the dark sunglasses.
Peanut butter and jelly slices. My wife laughed at me, and then they came out with peanut butter slices. Without the jelly slice it was destined to fail.:lol:
