Simple ideas worth millions

[Michael_]

Was watching a few Shark Tank reruns and I'm always fascinated by those simple ideas that end up being worth millions. Many are found away from Shark Tank, but a few have sprung up on the show. I'm still waiting for mine to hit me.

One that comes to mind is that Nailpak

Once picked up they were at pretty much a million in sales before they even pumped it out for big box distribution. Surely the company is worth millions now from this one product. Just so damned simple.

Scrub Daddy comes to mind also, but it's pretty technical based on the construction/formula of the sponge, but overall, still a really simple product that probably made that guy a multi-millionaire.

What simple ass ideas have you seen make millions that make you think "Wtf, why didn't I think of that?" or have you come up with your own?

car insurance comparison websites, yep, i thought of them way before they became mainstream in the UK, but lacked the resources to do anything about it. I naively assumed it would be too difficult to get insurers to play ball or they wouldnt let me scrape etc.

Some sort of a device to punch people via internet.

Eh - was just bored and I know a lot of people here watch the tank and other similar shows and pick apart ideas and episodes.

Guess I should have made a Bitcoin thread.

I had a simple idea for a better plunger...
It didn't work out too well so my business went down the toilet.

No you should have built a time machine, gone back in time and stopped your parents from having sex.

Or go back in time and have sex with your mother, becoming your own father. Actually that would explain a lot about this thread.

Hey man, you gotta believe in yourself!

You're never going to get that million dollar idea if you crumble at the first sign of adversity! Say, "Haters, put on some Bowie and blow me slowly!"

Meh - been working for the last 24 hours and don't have the energy to swing e-peens. Some threads just get shit listed on WF... happens.

On a side note, I found me a beautiful, brown-eyed black woman.

I see how revolutionary you conduct yourself. You must have a ton of new clients....

I had an idea once. It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor... and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.

Here is a free one for you ambitious types. A perforated pizza box top with plates and napkins in it.

There should be a chain of capsule hotels operating within all major airports. I needed a capsule when I was stuck in London/Heathrow for 12 hours last month.

Dunno man, sounds like a leap of faith to me.
