Why Didn’t I Think Of That
It’s Friday and time for another edition of “Why Didn’t I Think Of That?” Unique products to amuse and inspire.
Ice treat maker devised a lid that transforms into a small spoon after simple bending. Practical and eco-friendly!
Flash Drive Dispenses Post-It Notes
Since the USB drive was always meant to carry your virtual-world data, why not make it lug around some tangible object for a change? And that object happens to be a bundle of twitter-size Post-It notes in a wooden-USB-thumb-key-dispenser.
The Scratch Calendar uses the material found on lottery scratchers for a fun and interactive way to keep track of the date. As each day passes, just scratch it away with a coin.
Can’t find your shades? Just peel off a new set and stick ‘em on your face and you’re ready to go! (Removal could be somewhat painful.)

I would love a scratch off calendar (in English rather than the multi-language look). I think there is a lot that could be done with that simple idea of scratching off the day. Maybe a daily “fortune” could appear once the date was scratched off? Kind of like a fortune cookie without the calories!
However, don’t expect me to put tape glasses that close to my hair anytime soon! OUCH.

How simple and utterly amazing. I LOVE the spoonlidz idea. More evidence that we don’t have to reinvent the wheel, we only have to make it functional.

I agree with Angela…i love the idea of the scratch off calendar for keeping tract of the day’s and months, i also loved the idea of the spoon lid concept, that was pretty cool. But the sticky sun glasses don’t seem like a very comfortable concept to me. it seem’s like not only would you run the risk of loosing some hair in the process but maybe even some skin…like those thing’s that you put over your nose to take off the black heads…they hurt when you peel them back off and i think these sun glasses would too.

the spoonlids is an idea very similar to the tetra-pak, whose owners are now billionaires, i think that is a top idea and should be patented if not already done. However the sunglasses seem like they were thought of by a toddler. But I see some potential…try this…for users of regular spectacles, when they obtain a new pair of spectacles they also get paper sunglass lenses that fit those spectacles!
