Why Didn’t I Think Of That?
Have you ever seen or heard of new ideas, new innovations and thought why you didn’t think of that? It happens to me quite a bit. When they debut, they seem so brilliant, but so obvious at the same time. It makes me just want to smack my head and say “How simple. Of course!” But alas, I have not yet had an epiphany. So here are my top three “Why Didn’t I Think Of That” list:
- Customized Vitamins: Code Nutrition offers customized vitamins based on your DNA. This is brilliant because we all kn0w and have heard over and over again that genetics have a lot to do with our health. All you have to do is send in an at-home cheek swab and they will start analyzing your genetic makeup. Innovative and new…and I didn’t think of it.
- Amazon: Buying books without having to go to the bookstore. Think about it: no line, no wait (except for shipping, of course). I wonder if the inventor of Amazon.com knew that it would take off the way that it has.
- Gummy Bears: Yeah, I said it. You know you wish you could have thought of that too. And now it is a favorite treat of children and adults alike. I do sometimes wonder just how much the gummy bear empire is worth. But maybe I should just find something more productive to think about.
