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.

I would like a 'Man Remote'. It's like a telly remote control but for blokes. You can just press pause for a bit and reanimate them when you are ready or not

I would also invent 'Toe Floss'. Like dental floss but for toes. Grin

Astral dh wants a remote control for the cat with a mute button for when he wakes us up yowling at 5 am!

Any noise cancelling technology to block out the noise from the road, next door neighbour's music and stair stomping, planes overhead.
Seriously - I'd pay huge amounts to make my life quieter.

And definitely removable tattoo ink. Have it done, then take a pill which dissolves it.

An air sprayer at foot level at beaches. Pay £1 and get a minute of air to blast the sand from your feet! Genius!

ArmySal · 23/08/2018 11:35

Sarsons vinegar have done a spray bottle for a while now.

There is already a sun cream booth thing. I heard someone talking about it on the radio the other day. Being used in lots of high end All Inclusive resorts already!

amilosingitor · 23/08/2018 12:52

@Mistoffelees that's the best idea I've heard in ages as I've repeated those words and gone through that process more times than I care to remember in the last few days 😂

Mamamiaherewegoagainmymy · 23/08/2018 12:56

Ooh and a booth you can use that scans your body. Then after perusing at Next or M&S or wherever, you can select an outft and see how it will fit & what colour suits you

macnab · 23/08/2018 12:56

Mine is a lasagne dish and lasagne sheets that fit perfectly into it so you just pop one whole sheet at a time to layer up. And the option to just rebuy the lasagne sheets obviously.

If this has been invented already can somebody please tell me where I can get it!!

Lorddenning1 · 23/08/2018 21:28

I'm going to be rich after all these 😛 thanks mumsnet

I've patented my Toe Floss idea Lord so you can't steal it. Grin
The 'Man Remote' might be like a drill and require a 'hammer action' button Grin Grin

Sunnysidegold · 23/08/2018 22:22

Aww I love the idea of the family with their tooth monster, you sound very cute!

Toe floss makes me go Envy and Hmm in equal measure. That green one is not envy.

Air machine at beach is great idea!

Plural · 23/08/2018 22:44

Spray vinegar pic here.

Also about the magic drying machines they have them st Thorpe Park after the water rides, or they used to anyway. They looked like brightly coloured airport scanners.

Twotailed · 23/08/2018 22:52

I once had the utterly inspired idea of inventing Netflix, but for books - until my DH pointed out that I had successfully managed to invent... the library!

Lorddenning1 · 23/08/2018 22:58

Haha @Twotailed something I would say this

If I had a pub/restaurant I’d have an app where people can order their food/drinks and pay for it there and then.

Not really a business idea more of a charity: But I’d love to create an app (a bit like WhatsApp) where people can message trained councillors. It would be called ‘U ok?’ and anyone could use it, whether they’re upset, feeling a bit isolated or anything more severe. In an ideal world there would also be psychologists on the team to be referred to who could help people work through some issues through video call.

Junglefowl · 23/08/2018 23:33

I love all these ideas and it’s feeling rather late at night for my brain to manage a good one.

I do get bored of changing beds so maybe could sell pillows with 50 bespoke pillow cases on (largest on the outside and they get slightly smaller and brighter as you get closer to the pillow Grin and you just peel one off each week. Then once they are all off you return it to special shop to be laundered and reassembled Smile

I’ll be back if think of anything more useful !

Smallhorse · 24/08/2018 00:38

Maria, Wetherspoons have that app!

BalloonSlayer · 24/08/2018 07:19

Didn't someone on here use that app and end up with too many drinks, which they then drank (had to because they had paid for them) and then got monumentally & humiliatingly pissed? Posted on MN for a bit of reassurance and got roasted instead.

BikeRunSki · 24/08/2018 08:50

Loads of chain restaurants have an app like that.

Idontbelieveinthemoon · 24/08/2018 08:53

I was in DS1's room last night playing lego with him and he had an audiobook on. I had the sudden, genius, idea that there should be film audiobooks. So the audiobook of Austin Powers, or James Bond, or anything that a teenage boy would love.

DH said it was the red wine speaking. He's just jealous because he's not gifted like I am.

BikeRunSki · 24/08/2018 09:04

A machine for sorting Lego by colour and shape.

TheDarkPassenger · 24/08/2018 09:28

@Toyboysrus

You need to watch envy!!

Mariatequila · 24/08/2018 15:00

@smallhorse do they? 😱 there’s not one near me so I wouldn’t know 🙈 chuckling at the thought of someone accidentally ordering too many drinks then getting trolleyed, something I would do 😂
