The other day I was in a weird mood -- no surprise there. I posted a few dumb things on my Facebook status. Again, no surprise. One of them was, "Whoever invented gummy vitamins for kids was a genius." I've never been able to get my kids to take vitamins until the gummies came out. What a great idea. The other status was, "Whoever invented chocolate covered liqueur cherries was a genius." I love those things. My sweet friend Gale sent me two boxes from Trader Joe's for Christmas this past year. Good stuff!
This got me thinking about other great inventions and/or discoveries. I thought it would make a fun blog post to see what crazy things come to people's mind. They can be serious or silly. Just fill in the blank and if you like, explain why you think that product or idea is genius.
Another one for me would be ... Whoever invented Fanci-Full was a genius. That's a temporary hair color. Oddly, I've seen it in stores for years, but never bothered to pick up a bottle to see what it was. It's found in the hair color section. I've always thought it had something to do with permanent solutions. Well, they changed the packaging and it caught my eye the other day. I couldn't believe something like this existed. I've seen touch-up sticks for hair coloring, but never something like this. And since I'm the type of person who needs a touch-up in between my touch-ups, this is an absolute genius invention. So, what comes to your mind?
Whoever invented __________ was a genius!
Swaddle Me Baby Wraps!
ReplyDeleteI need to check out Fanci full, I usually need a touchup between touchups too!
ReplyDeleteI love chocolate covered cherries, but not the liquor filled ones. I have two boxes in the pantry from Christmas. I have one with my breakfast every day. It's fruit isnt it?

Wow - can you tell what stage of life I am living? lol
But seriously, I don't know how moms of the past did it. I don't think I would ever have had kids if I had to use a cloth diaper!
As for gummi vitamins - I wish they would come out with something else again - my daughter won't go near those either. I told her that she needed to have a vitamin a day to be healthy and she said "healthy is over rated"
Um, did I mention she is 3? Where do kids come up with stuff? lol
