A soldering iron that works like a mini arc welder? I should imagine that would kick the shit out of any static sensitive components you might use it on!

I really need to invent one of these pointless products, create a need, and sell the hell out of it.

Already been done.

I was so disappointed to find that someone had already come up with the DVD rewinder. I think my implementation was better though. I was going to sell walkmans (walkmen?) with a sticker on the bottom saying "THIS SIDE UP".

...

That doesn't sound as funny as it did when I thought of it. I'm probably forgetting the funny part.

A real DVD rewinder would be one that searches for the words "SIDE A" or "SIDE 1" on the inner ring of the facedown side, and flips the disc over if it sees them. Of course, ot would only be useful on double-sided DVDs. A bonus feature could be WIDESCREEN detector.

As Seen On TV

Here are a few of the items I really want. Whenever they're on the tv, my hands get itchy and I want to start dialing the phone.

And the rotating compost bin, but I can't find a link...

Radar,

Miracle Blade? Neat.
Aircore Pots? Good idea and energy saving.
Step Stool Chair-thing? Good appearance, etc...

...but you mean to tell me you want a $10 device that peels eggs for you? Step 1: drop boiled eggs in cold water. Step 2: peel. Step 3: use saved $10 to pick up beer to go with that egg salad.

And what, exactly, does an ion bracelet do?

I'm not putting any bracelet, or jewlery for that matter, on my Yin-Yang.

one of my clients makes a healthy living inventing things that end up in the junk aisle of walmart and on tv. he doesn't do the fullblown infommercial though. he specializes in bottle and jar openers. his latest is the gator grip. they all work really well, but i couldn't see myself ever purchasing one.

Supposedly it gets rid of pain. They show people with thermal photography and you can see where pain is and it goes away when you wear the bracelet. I want one just so I can see if it works. I have constant back pain because I have small healing fractures in the spine. I don't wear jewelry either other than my wedding ring. I don't even wear a watch. But if this thing could really get rid of pain I'd wear it. If not, I'd return it for my money back guarantee. All you really lose is the S&H.

As far as the egg peeler thing goes, it's really cool to see it work, but also I'm going back on Atkins soon, and you end up eating a lot of boiled eggs and deviled eggs. It's a pain in the ass to peel them all, especially when the shell is sticking to the egg. This thing does it in less than a second and gets it all.

For you Philadelphia folks, there is an As Seen on TV STORE in <A HREF="http://www.neshaminymall.com/html/">Neshaminy Mall</A> near, uh, Bensalem along Rt. 1 (near Street Rd., little north of 95). I spent two hours in there and almost bought the place out. I think I got some kitchen gadgets in the end.

'Tis a neat place to go. Check it out if you have not.

wolf · 01-10-2005, 04:41 PM

I browsed the one in Montgomery Mall and came away with a bunch of those fold up miracle spring open never get them back in the little circle for easy storage hampers.

They are wonderful.
