What's your million-dollar idea?

In My Humble Opinion
21

  1. For the gym: Downhill Ski Machine

  2. For Computers: Sarcasm font. (Or “Sarcasm” font)
    .

A bun halloween costume for weiner dogs.
mmm

23

It might take a few years for the technology to exist, but here goes. Imagine a tube of clear, soft transparent goo that looks like clear hair gel. You squeeze a dime sized dot onto your finger and transfer it to your eye and repeat for the other eye. In a matter of seconds the goo transforms into soft contact lenses that conform exactly to your eye in terms of visual acuity, comfort, etc. At the end of the day, you flick the contacts into the trash, go to sleep and in the morning repeat the process. No more cleaning, no more discomfort, and the material stays fresh until you need it. How’s that sound?

24

Don’t they already make those? I’ve seen photos of dachsunds made up as hot dogs. Mustard and ketchup on the back and all that.

25

Extra-wide duvet covers. That way, if one of them is a cover hog, they can hog all they want and there’s still enough covers left over for the other. Also, extra-extra-wide covers for when both of them are cover hogs.

26

anti-collision detectors!

Damn I knew I forgot something:smack:

27

An off switch for earthquakes.

28

Sounds a bit like JustGiving

29

Yeah, that’s basically the model, including the 5% cut. As they say, “There is nothing new under the sun”.

30

I’ll sue.

Yes I will, I’ll sue.
mmm

31

The Universal Rewards Card. Swipe it to become registered with the company’s system. Swipe it to get your rewards points. Solves a LOT of fuckin’ problems for me 'cause I have about 10-15 of these things in my wallet:

Sears
Petco
EZ’s (restaurant)
Carlson Hotels
Holiday Inn Hotels (or whoever their parent company is)
American Airlines
AMC Theaters
Regal Theaters
Borders (no longer valid)
Barnes and Noble
Books 'a Million

And others that I can’t remember off the top of my head.

32

An identifiable brand of comfortable TP to be sold covertly at out door fairs and rock concerts to people bladder-dancing in line to use those port-o-johns with no TP paper or peed-on wet TP paper.
“Sure, 5 singles will do the job, but for $10, you can have a soft roll of 2-ply, 2 packets of wet-wipes and a packet of lotion. I mean, just how many ATM receipts are in your wallet anyway? Paper-cuts are bad enough on your fingers… but Down There? Yikes! Your call…”

33

Why complicate things more than you need to? Et voila:

Picture a garbage can with an identical garbage can sitting inside of it. The garbage cans are fused around the top making a two layered can. The interior can has a bunch of holes in it for air movement. There is a foot powered high volume air pump built into the side of the can. You put a new garbage bag in the can and tie it at the top, then three or four pumps with your foot and the bag has been drawn tight to the edges of the can. You can then fill the garbage bag/can completely full without that big pillow of air that’s trapped in the can keeping paper from dropping to the bottom.

35

A U-turn indicator light.
Why? So you won’t have to stop suddenly or risk a collision when you realize that the driver in front of you is making a yooey, not a left.

36

I swear to god I had the idea for spring loaded toilet seats literally days before seeing it on TV. I didn’t tell anyone about it, just mused on it while in the bathroom.

Yet another reason why I think I’m in my own personal matrix.

37

A USB breathalizer.
Stops you sending emails, (especially to your boss), bidding on auctions and posting on any social media sites if you blow over the limit.

Washer dryers are pretty normal here btw, my parents have one and they’re hardly the most technological people on the planet. Works fine. Stick dirty clothes in, fresh clean dry clothes out,

38

A 6 hour energy drink. It will sell better than that other energy drink, because mine lasts an entire hour longer.

39

A cup holder that holds your drink in front of the a/c vent in your car. Hot drinks in the winter and cold drinks in the summer! Yay!

My million-dollar idea was to get away from SDMB for a four days while on a business trip.
Surprisingly, I didn’t make any (extra) money doing that…

Some of you may be interested in the Half Bakery.
You’ll fine some of these ideas there…including comments on them. And you may be surprised how many have actually been baked.
