Things that need to be invented

Postby silicone skyline » Mon Oct 20, 2008 12:02 pm

Sure, we already have the wheel, but hell, there's still plenty of things I hav conjured up that would improve the quality of life to some extent.
I'm sure others out there have similar ideas. So chuck em on here, if you're not too worried that someone will steal your idea.

I'll kick it off with my "disposable undies" concept.
I've been told these exist to some extent, but I haven't seen them in a retail capacity.
My concept is to bulk make underwear which is just thin cotton and a bit of elastic, nice and cheap, that is used for things like camping etc.
Take a pack of 7 for seven days in the bush, say each pair costs 10c to make, sell for 40c a pair, BANG! Market!

Comments, other ideas?

How's this one ... Toothpaste that doesn't make juice taste like shit?

You HAVE to brush your teeth in the morning, but if you mess up and brush your teeth BEFORE you drink juice, you're ******.

ANSWER: Toothpaste that doesn't mess with juice. Something that still cleans and smells ok, but doesn't destroy the flavour of everything you eat after!

Genius.

You are a genius SS.
I nearly had that problem this morning, before I thought better of it.

Key or wallett pager.

Ever leave your keys/wallett somewhere in your house but can never find them? Assign them a key or wallett pager. It's a little clip that simply fits on your keys or in your wallett. Activate it by calling it's own number from your phone.

There's minor hurdles to handle, but shit it would have saved me some time.

A 'STFU' gun. When pointed at the offending TV commercial or Reality TV idiot it erases the master tape. It causes that annoying tv commentator to STFU. Pointed at the bar bore it causes a white hot bolt of pain into the left knacker.

Build a STFU gun and the world will beat a path to your door. And if they piss you off you can shoot em.

regards,

Sorry SS these have been around for years...mum used to buy them for us to take on camping holidays as kids back in the 60's/70's...this is a Yank site but I assume it's the sort of thing you mean...

I'll have to have a think about a serious invention I'd like to see but in the meantime I'd like a system that gives drivers an electric shock everytime they are inconsiderate to other drivers and pedestrians...like not bothering to indicate or deliberatly driving through puddles and soaking people etc.
