My friend and I combined "dude" and "radical" into "dudical" when we were in third grade. I don't believe this ever caught on.


Depends on when you were in third grade. My best friend and I came up with that too, sometime back in 1988-1989 (second/third grade). I grew up in New York, and have never set foot in Washington state.

Some friends of mine from high school also claim they know the person who invented the term "MILF".


Damn it, you may have beat us to it!

I'm 25, so I was in third grade in 1990-1991.

Perhaps we were just watching the same amount of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons and movies.

When was the last time you were in a club and thought, “Man, if she doesn’t get up off of me soon, I’m gonna blow!” Well, now your problems are solved. This patent is for a device worn under your underwear that securely contains your manhood and provides for a pouch to catch any fluids you accidentally release.

This patent actually enhances stimulation caused by a gyrating woman on your lap. The pouch is lined with a lubricated, roughened surface, and the patent claims that it stimulates the penis so as to simulate intercourse.

I had the idea for sunglasses with headphones in them in the late 80's , fucking Oakley actually did it and made millions.

I had the idea for a automatic transmission that would allow you to shift manually if you wanted and a light on your ignition key for seeing keyholes in the dark. Audi/Volkswagen used both of those ideas.

send out my checks immediately large heartless capitalist corporations.

My one and only idea for a product is "The Miss-Fortune Cookie" bassically fortune cookies with fortunes inside that were bad. Not really bad like "your going to die" but stupid and annoying bad things like "your going to misplace your car keys" or "your wife thinks your fat" etc etc.

I think it would work as point of purchase at like 7 eleven stores. Make a big sign/picture of a hot asian girl in a bikini with a sash that says "Miss-fortune" and dip the cookies in chocolate to make them a little more enticing then your average fortune cookie. Sell em for 99 cents and bam your rich.

When I was little, I came up with the idea for popcorn chicken, which KFC stole from me years later.

It did fail though, so Im happy I didnt follow through with it.

I know I wouldn't mind having to carry a 5 or 10 pound battery in a backpack while walking down the street being nice and warm when it's freezing fucking cold out.

Couldn't you make it so it ran off solar energy? Shit it might not work at night and the days are shorter in the winter but who knows. Maybe it could store up solar heat. Thermal transfer should be easy too harness. They should make a coat that you could put in the oven and it would heat up and retain that heat for an hour or two but that would only work if you're going between places that have ovens.

I was stumbling home drunk one evening in college and came up with the idea of shoes that you could wear and attach rollerblade wheels to. I was thinking I was going to be a fucking millionaire until I woke up the next morning and saw that there were already like 2 or 3 companies doing this.

I also had a friend who, when we were 8, came up with the idea of putting a beeper on the TV or VCR remote and a button on the TV or VCR you could push and it could help you locate it if it was lost. This was a brillant idea but we were really young and knew nothing about getting the idea sold. I think it was even a few years later that companies were putting this feature on their products so he might have had time to promote it.

I predict this will be out soon if not already. Be careful. In fact I think this is a great idea. You should go for it.

As a child I thought I invented the refrigerator with glass/clear doors. I was always getting hollered at for standing in front of the fridge with the door open, and this was my solution. My mom told me it was a bad idea because no one wants the inside of their fridge to be on full display to guests. Then I saw "Three Men and a Baby" and they had one of those. I still think it's a cool idea.

My current million dollar idea is coffee filters that are easy to pull apart. Like, maybe with tabs or something. However, I am too lazy to follow through with it, or even research to see if it exists. If it does, it isn't a hit.
