Inventions You're Too Lazy To Make
I was making myself a coffee and didn't have a spoon. I poured the coffee directly from the jar into the cup. I thought, "wouldn't it be great if there was a nozzle on the top that could dispense just one measure of coffee? Woo. That would solve the problem of others making your coffee too weak too. Just say, 'two shakes for me. I like it strong.'" So the question is... what inventions have you thought up in idle moments that might just change the world?

GM "Stealth" Spuds
I know that the boffins have already genetically modified vegetables so that they are resistant to diseases or whatever, but this idea involves the modification of horrible vegetables that nobody wants to eat to make them look and taste exactly like potato, whilst retaining all the vitamins and what have you of the source plant.
Once this holy grail has been achieved, these ‘good for you’ vegetables can be cooked just like King Edwards and everybody will be happier and healthier. Especially kids;
BroccaChips – The look and taste like chips; but they’re made of Broccoli.
CauliSmash – With all the creamy goodness of Smash® but actually cauliflower.
Mrs. Beeton’s Roast PotSnips – Just like roast potatoes, but actually parsnips.
Do you see?
