Default Finally... The solution to that one missing sock!

You know how when you do the laundry... Inevitably, you get back one sock, without its partner! No one knows where that one sock went to... Some have speculated an "alternative universe" where the missing socks go...

Finally, entrepreneurship saves the day! One business has solved the problem of that missing one sock... They solve the problem by...

(Drumroll, please!)

Selling you 3 socks!

So if one sock goes missing, you've still got 2 !





The company that sells the "3-sock packs" is Throx...

I thought it was pretty wacky idea!

Default If only there was a solution to the missing Tuperware Lid, or lid without base (DNO)

Michael,

Be careful what you ask for...

You just never know...

There just might be a Creative Hotsheet solution...

Haven't seen many selling How to "Hotsheet Videos" as of yet...

Hi Phil,

Thanks for those extra links... As usual, you're a "gold mine" of information!

The "socks by subscription" idea is a great one... How many other products could be sold by subscription?

I bet there are plenty... You'd just have to think of things that people buy on a regular basis, which doesn't require too much "thinking" about...

Here are a few more links... (Phil's posted the first one before, but I don't think the others have been posted as far as I remember...)

http://www.blacksocks.com
http://www.sockrevolution.com
http://www.silktieshop.co.uk/products/subscriptions

Default Subscription ideas still kicking! Razor blades & Tampons... Not together of course...

Thought I'd kick this one up a notch and back to life...
