What's your Dragons Den idea?

Not really AIBU, posting for traffic.
Just the title really, what's your Dragons Den idea, light hearted...,

Mine is a machine that can make any colour nail polish (so u can match it up to outfits), u would just scan the items and it would make that colour, like the machine at BnQ.

A pill you could take once a day that would keep you at the ideal weight for your height.

A spray that you could squirt onto dog or cat poo in the street or in the garden and it would dissolve away the poo to nothing.

Mamamiaherewegoagainmymy · 22/08/2018 15:01

Toyboysrus fab! Plus s pilll that's not a con as per done FB ads.

My ideal would be a meal replacement tablet to help you lose weight but include all the vitamins you need , ( was it verrucca salt in the film catcf?mmm Sunday dinner.... NB I don't want to turn into a massive blueberry tho! )

Mshopey - another that already exists, I usually see them in "colour supplements" attachments for each corner under mattress, elastic plus clips each end to hold sheet in place.

Troysmammy - sensors for tracking buses - also already in existence. Have used buses that use this in 2 very separate parts of the country. You could text a 5 digit (premium rate they're not daft) text service and it would text you back if bus on time or running late. In some cities the bus stops have electronic displays containing same info which is displayed every few mins.

Signonthewindow - many of us just used reins like that!

Cigarsofthepharoahs - you can get chewable "toothbrushes" to which you can apply toothpaste.

Re tattoos - I think semi-permanent tattoos might be a better idea. Ones which very slowly fade over time (thinking years rather than weeks).

Calpol ice poles though? Genius idea!

Graphista I'm in Wales, not a thing here.

A light-up, sensor activated "You're too close" sign for the rear window of my car.

Similar but a feature that will display on the rear or side windows of the car whatever message you speak as in:

"Don't think I'm going to speed up because you are tailgating me. In fact I'm going to slow right down"

"Stop hooting Mr Hooty Hooterson"

"I look at your bright red Ferrari and think small penis"

" You are gorgeous. Call me. My number is . . ."

@TroysMammy

large plastic covers like shower caps to fit over your food shopping trolley when you are going back to your car when it's raining. It will prevent soggy boxes etc.

Not quite trolley sized but same idea to fit their own trolley, Lakeland used to make these

www.lakeland.co.uk/21553/Funky-Trundle-Covers

to fit the Funky Trundle but it now comes with a lid

SnugglySnerd · 22/08/2018 16:51

Bus stops in Birmingham already do that but I love the idea of a trolley cover and a washing line umbrella

BikeRunSki · 22/08/2018 17:21

The washing line umbrella thing has already been on D'D. One of the very early series 10 years or so ago.

I'm pretty sure that the rear window message board idea has been on too.

Tuckingfypo

They make one for thick / curly / Afro hair. It is the same but with much longer bristles! I use this as have thick hair and It’s great!

gluteustothemaximus · 22/08/2018 20:34

I'm not sharing my idea.

But I can tell you...

Year 1 - loss of £200,000
Year 2 - break even
Year 3 - make twenty five million billion trillion

quiet flip flops. It’s all in how you walk in them. DH and gnlisan who only wore flip flops as an adult does that slapping noise. Me who grew up in them can slap or not.

Mamamiaherewegoagainmymy · 22/08/2018 21:42

Gluteus I know what it is! It's how to kill your husband/ partner and dispose of the body without going to prison!

Jenniferturkington · 22/08/2018 22:00

Spray top vinegar. It would give you a nice even distribution on your chips.

mentalmickey · 22/08/2018 22:12

I will need to name change after this..... I have been on DD and got investment. And yes I knew my numbers Grin

Smallhorse · 22/08/2018 22:40

JeniferT spray vinegar is genius !

Smallhorse · 22/08/2018 22:41

A machine at the beach that sprays you with sun cream, much like a tanning booth

Twotabbycats · 22/08/2018 22:41

I want the full body air dryer. But it needs a cool setting for summer!

@JamesDelayneysTattoos does the tangle teaser inventor own the patent - do they get money for the cheap imitations too?

@Bujinkhal Its a clever idea but I hate those car radios with codes. Bought a second hand car, had no idea the radio had a code. Had major work done after 5 years (first time the battery was removed for any length of time) and now I can't get the radio to work. So it might as well have been stolen... Have long since lost touch with the person I bought it from!

My fantasy invention would be self-chopping fruit and veg. No idea how that would work though!

Notsoaccidentproneanymore · 22/08/2018 23:07

I’d already thought of the vinegar spray and the beach spray sun cream booth. Great minds........

I’ve thought of loads over the years.

MY latest one is......

Why are plugs so boring? White, cheap plastic, the power cable goes out at the bottom. Why not have the power cable from the top, or out of the back? A different design, colour etc. I can see the practically of current plugs, but aesthetically they are uninspiring. If you’re designing your room, and you replace the sockets with steel, or chrome etc, the next stick an ugly white plastic plug in the middle.....kind of ruins the look.

sourpatchkid · 22/08/2018 23:10

Why don't you just put your vinegar in a spray bottle?

Bimgy85 · 22/08/2018 23:48

'Self chopping' already exists in professional kitchens, how do you think they chop your homemade chips? By hand? Grin one by one? I remember working in a kitchen and a huge 20L bucket was used with a small little machine you'd press down and 20/30 chips would come out of the potatoes

SnugglySnerd · 23/08/2018 00:05

Thanks Bertie, it's out of stock Sad Is that because everyone reading this thread has bought one?!
