..::Money Maker

Okay so I know this may be a bit off topic of my usual subjects, but after a horribly bad day (see below) I couldn't help but RANT about this because I'm having a huge, "I SOOOO THOUGHT OF THAT" moment. I know you know the kind of moment I speak of. One day you are going along minding your own business, using a product that you've used for years when all of a sudden it hits you - this MEGA awesome idea that can make said product so much more useful to you. BADA BING BADA BOOM you're a millionaire. Except in most cases these mega awesome ideas we all have, hardly ever come out of our heads and into the laps of the CEO's of said companies and they are forgotten. Until one day you are going along minding your own business and BAM! right in your face is your idea that you thought of decades ago and you think to yourself "I SOOOOO THOUGHT OF THAT!!!!!!"

I've had many of these moments in my life...remember "Say What Video" on MTV where they had the lyrics running across the screen of music videos? Ya I thought of that, but I was only like 13 and what do 13 year olds know (well clearly they know a great idea when they think of one.) Today my moment involves one of the greatest condiments on the planet - KETCHUP. Yes ketchup. You see when I was a youngster I was a huge fan of the Chicken McNugget Happy Meal - after all I am the byproduct of a single mother and lets face it, after a long day at work, the McDonalds drive thru is a Single Mom's best friend. Anyways everyone knows that when you get the chicken nuggets they come with your choice of sauce neatly packaged in a little tub perfect for dunking said nuggets. Now let's imagine what happens if you don't like any of the sauce options and you just want ketchup on your nuggets. Instead of a nicely packaged tub of ketchup, perfect for dunking nuggets and fries you get a wimpy lil packet that you must tear open and you inevitably make a mess all over yourself. Yes that's right, at the age of 5 I wondered why ketchup did NOT come in a cute lil tub perfect for dipping nuggets and fries. Well it seems that over 2 decades later, Heinz has finally decided to do something about this HUGE dilemma - enter the new Dip or Squeeze Ketchup package.

Yeah, I SOOO THOUGHT OF THAT WHEN I WAS 5. Fuck my life - I should be a millionaire right now. Next time I think of something that is MEGA AWESOME like that, I'm going straight to the patent office...
