Business Ideas

 Here are a couple business ideas I thought of in the last 15 minutes:

• Lotion that has the pump in the bottle, except that instead of a straw that only goes halfway so that you either have to either scrape the lotion that's stuck at the bottom with the straw and wipe it on your hand or buy another bottle and set it next to the old bottle that still has a little in it but you can't get yourself to throw it away yet because like there's still lotion in it. And the marketing will be like: it's fifty cents more, but we won't trick you into buying more lotion before you need it. This could actually be a whole line with shampoo/ conditioner/ body wash/ hand soap/ etc. 
• Packaging for food that changes color when it nears its expiration date. People like me who are real anxious about foodborne illnesses won't throw away nearly as much food. And people who don't read labels and just eat everything probably won't get sick as often.  

Here's some other ones that I didn't think of in the last 15 minutes:

• College professors and well known authors would record themselves (or someone who is better at public speaking) summarizing each of their book chapters and then you could pay for the audio book summary and it would be relatively equal to the cost of a book. I'll write a separate post about that one because I want it to exist.
• Rent-a-dog. Jesse and I came up with this one together when we were in Montana. You can borrow a sweet, busy pup while hiking at state parks. Like our vision for this one is right next to the visitor center at a state park or something. Puppies get love and exercise, and people get companionship in the woods.
• Attachable cup holder that is specifically meant to hold your Nalgene in your car, stroller, movie theater, and any other place where there would already be a cup holder that's too small for your Nalgene.
• A place where you get a bunch of cool supplies to make a fort/tent. Like there would be platforms or designated areas you would rent and have access to a bunch of fun supplies for kids to make a place to hang out for the day. Jesse mostly came up with that but I've spent many hours thinking about it. There'd be a bar and also fire pits. 

If you steal any of these ideas, that's fine. Just like give me a gift card or something.
