A vending machine dispensing gourmet sandwiches in addition to Snickers bars would be a nice new product to have into offices and buildings for people who arrive for work early and stay late. By gourmet I also mean fresh, so daily restocking of ingredients will be required. On busy days, I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra to get fresh a sandwich right off my desk.

Athens metro cheat
If you've been to Athens and used the metro you must have noticed that entry to the station requires ticket validation but unlike London or New York where entry requires the opening of gates to pass through, there is no such thing in Athens. The ticket is valid for 1.5 hours and the price is same for all destinations which makes the ticket transferable. If you see a ticket left around on the validation machine, it's probably because someone left it there to be used by someone else. Next time you're in Athens and use the metro, check to see if there is a ticket on the validation machine before buying a new one.

InVending Donations
A vending machine that uses the traffic light system to label various food options. The machine still sells junk food like chips and soda, but it adds a 5-cent surcharge for each one, which is then donated. The University of Virginia is already using one and managed to collect $7,000 which was donated to a children's fitness clinic. Not bad idea for collecting money!

Hand applicator pads
Bored cleaning up my dad's Camry's paint last Sunday, I was wondering why there are no hand applicator pads made from the same stuff as foam pads for machine use? Seems to me a cutting applicator pad, a polishing, a finishing, etc. would sell like hotcakes. Oops, I may have just given away my only million dollar idea? I'm guessing they're not made because it's easier to induce marring by hand and harder to get it out by hand? I think it's a good idea anyway!

The devil is in the details

If you dress into a vending machine in order to camouflage or hide, why doesn't the dress reach all the way to the ground? Why aren't the shoes covered? Say the dress transformed you into a piano and shoes protruded, wouldn't the piano player step on your feet?
In a vending machine on the street you can be hit by a car or a cyclist! This is creative fashion but I wonder if people actually wear it. Maybe in a Pink Panther parody movie it can be very useful...

What if there was a machine or gadget that would tie the tie for you and all you had to do was wear it?
I have never seen such a gadget around and last time I asked my wife to do the tie for me, she was saying how frustrated she was I could never learn how to do it myself!
I imagine it as follows. You would enter your neck size once, choose the kind of knot you would like and it would take care of the rest!
How difficult could that really be? These days you can have machines/robots that automate the process for everything, why not on how to tie a tie?
What do you think?

What about creating a new machine that measures weight and for those who are overweight it will reduce the weight to the desired level by sucking the fat out (through some kind of liposuction technique probably).
Those who are underweight, well, stop smoking and start eating!
OKAY, I have had this idea for a long time now. It is silly and kinda ridiculous, but if it can be turned into a real product, it can be a blockbuster.
