Throwaway Ideas…
ShamWow!! Eight towels for $20 plus postage and packing. The ShamWow holds 20 times its own weight in water and comes in two sizes. What am I waiting for? To quote the website:
“ShamWows are made in Germany from a revolutionary fabric that can absorb over 20 times its weight in liquids. Use them to clean up spills fast and they won’t scratch any surface. You can even use them as a towel or on your pets. They are machine washable and bleachable. Use them over and over; they will last for years! And they are so durable, we guarantee your ShamWows for 10 years.”
You know, these people aren’t thinking of all the possibilities. How about using them when they’re making diapers - I’m sure they would suck up all the necessary juices! Or how about moulding them in the shape of a hairdo and using them to put on your wet hair to instantly dry it and form your style? I am in the wrong career.
My other throwaway idea was a sort of obituary.com website where anyone can leave an obituary for a loved one when they die. Why? Well just think about it for a moment. In this distributed world in which we live it would be one central place to store people’s obituaries. That’s something that doesn’t exist today. But the neat thing would be the other things that could come out of this. With some simple added information about the family it wouldn’t be too many years before the site would also become a genealogy site too. Hmm. Now that sounds useful to me.
The world is becoming a smaller place and we all just need our space on it to live.
Anyway, when you turn on the news and see the ShamWow diaper or the genealogy obituary site you know where you read about them first. Have a great weekend!
