Sorry, the submission period for this contest is over.

They seem to indicate there will be more contests but it is Walmart so the question is really can you trust these bastards?

Besides that, thanks for the post. The possibility for this to be useful seems to exist.

Just my 2¢...

Yep, can't disagree, that is exactly what it says. Those are the voting dates. BTW, if you want to get a product into Walmart's, go talk to the local store manager, show him/her your product and if he likes it you'll get some papers/forms to complete and they will go to HQ under his sig. Don't know if the Ft Benton crowd will have the same interest but it is worth a try. And, as an alternative, try the posted site.

Good luck to anyone who takes the time to jump on the Walmart ferris wheel. I'm told it is a fun ride until they get tired of turning the wheel.

Default How watching those clips could inspire you...

Of course, if you have a product for WalMart it could be very profitable too...

Sometimes watching videos like these can inspire your own (different) products or ideas...

For example, Bette Nesmith Graham, the inventor of "liquid paper" (in the days of typewriters), was inspired by her own hobby of painting, and noted that in painting, you didn't "erase" your mistakes - you just painted over them!

I also recently read this here...

"Corkscrew inventors were inspired by a tool called the bulletscrew or gun worm, a device that extracted stuck bullets from rifles."

New ideas and mental stimulation are always good...

Best wishes,

Dien
