Crazy Products Sell

Hey inventors...

You've probably seen this wolf shirt that has been making the rounds on numerous sites on the'net and its hilarious Amazon review. Kudos on your review B. Govern "Bee-Dot-Govern"

Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt, Available in Various SizesWhile this is not an invention, it is an example of how something as simple as a t-shirt (an ugly one at that) can become a phenonmenon based on buzz and viral marketing. Kids, you want that buzz and marketing attention for your inventions. While I hope that your idea is something cool that will change the world, or at least not a hideous item like this shirt, you will need marketing. PS - I see a dude in a mullet wearing this shirt and PS - here's one for his girlfriend...

Kitty Overalls T-Shirt, Available in Various Sizes

My Geek Sense Is Tingling...

by danni 5/22/2009 10:03:00 AM

Are you as excited as I am about the latest LEGO™ sets...based on Frank Lloyd Wright Designs...? I am a freaky "Fountainhead" fan too (as well as most classic movies and film noire)... This is an example of a great innovative idea applied to an existing product. You can do something great like this too! You probably already have a golden idea in that head of yours. Get it out for the rest of us to enjoy! PS - I'm wild about the Museum Store - they have cool Frank Lloyd Wright products there too... Best Wishes Danni

Some Inventions are as simple as my morning bagel...

by danni 5/19/2009 11:02:00 AM

Sometimes the simplest inventions make the most money. I haven't tried this invention yet (available @ amazonwebstore.com) but I am addicted to my morning bagel and would certainly buy this sucker. What do I like best about it? No cuts...even kids can use it (like me - keep me away from sharp objects). Don't show up at my door with flowers, just a bagel and my Starbucks... (don't forget the jewelry guys).

Geek Pride Day: May 25th

by danni 5/15/2009 10:26:00 AM

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geek_Pride_Day

Nerd Pride Day, or Geek Pride Day, is an initiative which claims the right of every person to be a nerd or a geek. Of Spanish origin ("día del orgullo friki" in Spain), it is celebrated nowadays among Spanish frikis (an equivalent of geeks and nerds).

This day is celebrated on May 25 since 2006, celebrating the premiere of the first Star Wars movie in 1977. So, what do you all want to do? Parade? If so, I want to be on a float -- I've never gotten to do that before!

You know what the difference is between Bill Gates and Barney, my shlubby cousin that lives in his parent's garage?  Bill Gates followed his dreams and pursued his invention. Get that idea out of your head and into the hands of a distributor.

Mom Exercise Invention

by danni 5/12/2009 8:25:00 AM

Hey Inventors and Geek Genuises whom I adore:

While you're planning and designing your next great invention, don't overlook the highly lucrative "Mom category". A recent marketing study stated that 85% of American household budgets are managed by the wives and moms. Moms are a busy, overloaded group of women that care about their families, their quality of life, and their health and appearance. Especially today, when we all want to look young as long as possible. Do you have a great invention idea for busy Moms? It would sell like hotcakes. 

Check out this new invention "The Stroller Trike". It's much better than jogging and dragging the tykes along on a "leash" (that's what I call those kiddie leads that attach the kids to their mother...). Just kidding Moms!

Chocolate-Powered Race Car

by danni 5/8/2009 7:52:00 AM

Hey bloggers and inventors.  I love to bring you the weird and wild in the world of invention. So much so, that I often find myself saying (typing) "YES, THIS IS REAL!"  That goes for today's new invention. A real race car made out of vegetables that runs on chocolate as fuel. For real, this is the only way I would syphon a gas tank...

 

 As I mentioned in a previous blog, "green" eco-inventions are so hot right now and bound to get a lot of press. New inventions need to be promoted. You can always go with a professional company to patent and market your invention for you.

Growing plants on the moon

by danni 5/5/2009 5:30:00 AM

  Humanity could be one step closer to colonizing the moon if this experiment works. Paragon Space Development Corporation, a NASA subcontractor, has decided to take a stab at growing plants in a specially designed greenhouse on the moon. THE MOON! The attempt will take place in 2012.

Paragon has developed a very specialized greenhouse that can safely contain a plant and provide it with all elements it needs to survive. The greenhouse will need to protect the plant from the sun's intense rays while providing it with enough water, balanced soil, and carbon dioxide while removing its waste oxygen. Paragon has chosen a species within Brassica (the mustard family), due to their quick growth (14 days of light in order to grow, flower and then set seed). A lunar day is 14 Earth days long, so if the landing is timed perfectly, it will allow just enough time for the plant to grow to maturity and possibly re-seed.

Why not invent your own lunar product, or better yet a water or soil saving device for use on Earth...

Bacon Vodka

by danni 5/5/2009 5:20:00 AM

  To answer your question, the most popular drink seems to be the "Bacon Mary", the bacon-flavored Bloody Mary. Breakfast or brunch is now swank. If they could fit eggs in there it would be a well-rounded meal :-)  PS - no cholesterol

What's with the surge in bacon flavored products?

by danni 5/1/2009 6:23:00 AM

bakon vodka.jpgYes bloggers! this is real.  Bacon flavored vodka. Currently only available in Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon right now, with expectations to expand. Would you buy this to make a "Bacon Mary"? The net has been flooded with bacon items lately like the "BA-K 47" I recently brought you, plus a super hot welding torch that runs on bacon (yes, that's real too - the bacon grease achieves super hot temperatures). Plus additional bacon flavored "personal products".  What's with the surge in swine?

Jump on the pork bandwagon or release your own timely invention. Seriously bloggers, patent your idea first. Then get a virtual prototype first and save money in concepting your model. ...You'll soon be bringin' home the bacon and fryin' it up in the pan...
