But – is it REALLY mouldy?

Great to get the Quirky link, Yvonne. I’m heading over there right away.

Thanks, Robin :)

Love the toaster :)

The sandwich bag is my favourite! Absolute genius. I notice that Berocca have just launched a new product idea, or product extension i guess. Comes in a single serve at 7/11 etc . you twist the top and the tablet drops into water . Perfect for that late night (or early morning) stroll home from the dance floor to home.

I like the teapot / toaster too, although not sure I would buy something like that, but it is pretty to look at. Same with the i-phone holder. Great imagination though!

The lunch bag wins, hands down! :-)

I would definately not eat sandwiches that look like that but I might bin it thinking I’m doing someone a favour !!!

All useless, no quantifiable value propositions.

These are noveties that deliver no value at all, thus if any succeeded in the market place it would be absolute luck. This is not my sort of innovation!

When I saw the sandwich bag I thought: what a crap!! But I read the text afterwards. It’s genious.

Hi,

pretty cool these Anti-Theft Lunch Bags. But it looks like it is damping your appetite ;-)
