Stupid Little Inventions We Could Not Live Without
Quite the topic this morning talking about those crazy products or things, those little inventions we couldn’t live without! As The Mike & Carla Morning Show talked more and more about it, we just wanted to know.
For example, the little piece of cardboard that goes around the cup of coffee you get at the drive-thru. Some would call it a “sleeve”, but did you know it actually has a name? Carla Rea did a little research and according to Reddit, it’s called a “Zarf”! Those are the things we were talking about this morning.
Those Little Inventions We Couldn’t Live Without
Someone had to think of it, design it, create it, then sell it! Sure enough, someone did and made millions because they are everywhere now! Other things that came to mind, how about that stick you can put in your lid so the coffee doesn’t squirt out while your driving. Not sure that it has a name, but again, someone actually came up with this and sold the idea to coffee shops everywhere!
Mike O’Brian wishes that he would have thought of that little crumb stick thing. It’s that little stick that waiters use to clean a table cloth of crumbs and stuff. Not sure it has a name, but again, we sure someone made a nice chuck of change coming up with it.
As we all talked about this, the question morphed into another phase of the conversation. Who do you know that came up with a little invention and then made a killing?
One woman called in to say that she knew the family that came up with the deflector dots on the highways. Those dots that remind us to stay in your lane. And they actually have a name! Botts’ Dots! However, a story in Sacramento Bee says that the dots are being phased out in California. But quite the story, nonetheless.
We even talked to someone who knew the person that came up with the foam “Cheese” hats worn by Green Bay Packer fans! Oh, it was all quite educational. Listen to the segment below…and enjoy!
