Fire. The wheel.

All me.

But no, we give all the credit to the cavemen.

I'm pretty sure I invented the term "crap on a cracker", but I never get any credit, yet I see people using it all the time.

Fed Ex. Not the actual Federal Express service, but the shortened name "FedEx". I started calling it that the first day they started rolling, doggone it! A couple years later -poof! -everbody knows them as FedEx.

Those stupid snowman kits. I invented them when my kid was little - plastic blackhat, plastic carrot for a nose, plastic coal eyes - the whole bit - I was getting sick of her wanting to drag hats and junk out of the house. I really wanted to patent one of those suckers.

A couple years later - I saw one in a store. Ticked me off to no end.

Haven't seen the snowman kits, either!

my miracle whip and ketchup mixture. made it all the time then one day saw a commercial of somebody making it.

I'm pretty sure I coined the phrase "aggrevation factor". That's the quandry one finds themselves in when deciding to buy something cheap instead of a more expensive product. How much "aggrevation" will I have if I don't get the better item.

I've been saying for years that when I win that "set you up for life, never work again lottery" I'm going to take the Disney World tour. Start in CA, head to Tokyo and Hong Kong, then to Paris and finish up in WDW. Then, this year what does Disney do? Makes it a prize in the YOMD!!!! I should have least been one of the winners for coming up with the concept.

Croc Socks - came to me in the middle of the night, and by morning they were already posted for sale on their website. Thieves, I tell you.

When I was a kid, me and my cousin would play with our littlel Hotwheels jeeps and trucks. Well, one day I told him we lets pretend that we have push button four-wheel drive. Dad heard me and said, "Son, there's no such thing." Well duh, of course there wasn't, that was the 70's. But had he listened to me and patented it then we'd be rich right now. But noooooooo.

Not me but me husband made a shingle shark like product years ago. He just about died when he walked into The Home Depot and saw how much they are selling for.
