Most of us can think of many examples such as: Crystal Pepsi, slap bracelets, pogs, and backpack purses. As we look back at the products invented in the last 25 years, we wonder what type of new products we will invented in the next 25 years. Of all the new consumer products invented every year, many succeed and many fail, but it's great looking in from the outside on the new ideas for our future.

Who comes up with these ideas! I remember in the late eighties someone invented a torture tool for women, the more I think about it I'm sure a man invented it. It was made for hair removal; I guess you could use it anywhere on the body with hair. It was a mechanical device that yanked hairs from the roots and this supposedly prevented the hair from growing back as fast.

These pens were the "thing" and consumers went crazy for them, the stores are still out of them. Gel pens are still alive and kicking. Who knows what they will come up with next!

The companies that gave up the hair removal products started the evolution of pore cleansing strips. Little strips of gluey paper you wet and press on your face. This supposedly removes dirt and oil from the pores in your face. One company put these in stores, and now every company that sells make-up or facial cleansing products has their own version. Thos invention won't last long because many consumers have realized tape is a faster, cheaper and more effective. While this isn't painful like the torturous hair removal creation it's just another product the world can live without.

od and spill it. We were finally done eating and started talking; it was amazing how we survived how we survived the spaghetti meal without spilling a thing. Before we realized what was happening my friend was hit in the chest by a saucy meatball. After being so precautious ourselves, someone ruined my friend new senior shirt.
