Guy at work claims he came up with the idea for the blue tape used to hold your wipers in place at car washes but then corporate espionage did its thing. He said he mentioned his idea one night at a Baton Rouge bar to a girl to impress her and the rest is history.

I don’t think sucking sticking a piece of tape somewhere counts as an “invention”

Yeah I invented ground beef sandwiches. Even have it trademarked. That's why you only hear of people saying hamburgers. The rest is history.

Built in child cars seats that pull out telescopically. I thought of that years ago. Did anyone ever bring that to market?

I told some people at a bar once about my idea for an interactive erotic novel once.. never saw them again but I always wondered if they ran with it.

It was going to have choose your adventure, coloring book pages, pop-ups, scratch and sniff, etc.

Pretty sure I recently saw that on a car commercial. Not sure if you’re being serious or not but I am serious.
