I got an idea a while back for an invention when the product I bought was not doing nearly what it claimed. I messed with a few homemade prototypes that made some improvement. For whatever reason I did not follow through with it, but constantly have had it in the back of my mind knowing it can be made a lot better.
Today I'm at the store looking at stuff where they sell this item. I look over and I see someone at the store buying 4 of them, and instantly my blood started to boil. I found myself getting totally pissed off, and I wanted to walk up to the guy and tell him "That thing totally sucks a** and does not do what it says at all".
Instead I turned my anger into a positive. I said nothing to the guy, and walked out of the store. I immediately went around to a couple different stores that sell the item to see if there's anyone trying to compete with them or if there's anything remotely close on the shelf. Nope. Just that same "junky" product on every shelf with big bold letters claiming the product does something that I know for a fact it doesn't.
I went home and immediately called T2 Design and set up an appointment. I'm flying out to Santa Monica next Wednesday to talk with them about how we can fix this problem and put that junky product to bed.
