Cheese Strips

Think about biting into a nice juicy cheeseburger, savoring the juice, and the delight of the cheese, but it's usually just one thing - cheddar or swiss or something. How about if you could buy those square slices of cheese but it had several different flavors - like swiss, cheddar, and monterey jack.  There would be strip of each kind all bound together like Neapolitan ice cream. Why don't I just cut three different strips and lay them in myself - cause I'm an American and I want fast easy food that I don't have to prepare or make myself.

Barbeque Butter

We Americans love barbeque flavoring.  We have barbeque potato chips, barbeque chicken, barbeque beef, etc.  And it still isn't enough. I'd like barbeque flavored butter.  You could slather it on boiled rice, on boiled or mashed potatoes, even on toast.  The possibilities are endless.  And if you think barbeque toast seems strange, just think about what barbeque potato chips are.

Walking on dollars

Consider shoes, consider say, tap shoes, now try to make something more. Take women's shoes, specifically high heel shoes, and attach a piece of metal under the toe or under the point of the heel so they could go tap tap, but make it more interesting and make those metal pieces money, say a penny, a nickle, a dime. Now consider the sort of shoes that Reebok, Nike, and so make, the soft shoes as it were.  Around the edge of the sole and on the heels embed coins, from pennies to quarters; in fact, you could use foreign coins as well - make them French or Japanese or Bolivian - the world would be your source. And for the real high rollers, take leather shoes or boots and in the center of the sole or heel, embed a silver or gold dollar. That would really be walking on money.

Metal Detectors

We encounter them in courthouses and other government buildings, and especially at airports.  Those blasted metal detectors : take off your shoes, your belt, empty your pockets, and still they go off with an annoying blahhh! So picture a routine perhaps for a music video or some other entertainment - some one steps through the detector; it goes off; they step back; they take off some article of clothing; they step through and again it goes off; they step back, remove another article and again and again - it's a sort of strip tease for security's sake. Now picture a whole roll of these detectors and dancers or whatever stepping through and then having to do it all over again and again as they shed more and more clothes. And maybe the detectors would have different notes to their blahhs, so you'd hear something like a tune, blah, Blah, bLah, etc. And for a big finish, the barely clad dancers all step through, the detectors go off once more in a resounding chord of blahs while lights flash, fireworks go off, etc.

Bed Energy

Do you toss and turn in bed, do you have restless legs, do you have insomnia?  The fact is that many people do not sleep like a log, lying there all night unmoving.  They toss and turn, they roll, they shake, and that's just the ones who are asleep.  There's a lot of energy there. I believe some places have installed pressure sensitive pads under rugs and mats where a lot of people walk.  The idea being that all that pounding is converted into electrical energy that can be used for other things. Well, why not do it for beds.  Something that would capture all the energy you're producing for 8 hours a night and then send it along to run the radios, the lights, the computers. Institutions like hotels, college dorms, prisons might have a whole new source of energy to help with their bills. And after beds you could move on to other furniture - theatre seats, bus and car seats, the Lazy-Boy!
