Dear Readers,
Sometimes a product comes a long that compels the mind to go in a bit of megalomaniacal hysteria. It fuels it to think, “SOMEONE STOLE MY IDEA.” Of course, when that happens, the product is usually nothing that could have been produced by me. I would not have had the follow through to completely figure out the mechanics of making the item. I would not have the budget to produce a prototype. It may not have been a rip roaring success, as my package design skills are lacking. Sure, it would have some sort of a box, or at least wrapping paper around it, but I would have failed to psychologically analyze what package colors trigger a “buying” response in potential purchasers. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the product probably is nothing like I thought either. Oh, but other than that it is JUST like it.
What went on in my mind that constitutes a “Hey, I thought of that first?” Well, it is quite simple. I probably said,”Hey, wouldn’t it be neat if refrigerators had locks on them?” Five seconds later I completely forgot that I thought of it. That’s hardly a stroke of “eureka” that would give me a claim to any patent.
What is the inspiration for this meandering announcement? I just have become acquainted with the Fridge Locker. If you don’t believe me that one exists, go to www.FridgeLocker.com. Truth be told, it is not exactly what I had envisioned. It is not a big padlock on a Frigidaire. Rather, it is like a little jail cell inside of your fridge. Maybe you could call it a pop play pen.
I hear you chuckling. This is a legitimate product that could potentially save your life, so don’t scoff, Bucko. In fact, there is a testimonial from Howard L., from Pacific Beach, California. He writes, “My friend’s Girlfriend can’t eat all the Multigrain Bars anymore.” Well, Howard, firstly, what is your friend’s girlfriend doing over there ransacking your fridge? If she is the girlfriend of your roommate, then maybe I could understand, but if she is dating just a random friend of yours, then I think your random friend needs to be given a talking to. Maybe he told her that he rents a shelf in your fridge or that your place is really a hipster theme restaurant.
The inventor, Kevin Alan Tussy, was having a similar life drama.
One Saturday I was thinking about how I really wanted to start eating better at the office. I was always eating out and spending a lot of money on some pretty unhealthy food. Not to mention that I always seemed to be on the brink of starvation before I would actually go eat. Some healthy snacks would definitely be a great thing to have around. I went to the grocery store and every morning I packed up my brown bag, but after a few days I started forgetting. In my morning rush it would slip my mind and I was back to eating out… If only I could bring in a weeks supply of snacks to work all at once, then I would never go hungry… But I knew that wouldn’t work. My food would be eaten by all the employees in the office. People just weren’t very respectful.
Do you see a theme here? There is no nonsense about beer or chips. Perhaps Howard and Kevin should just realize that there coworkers, relatives, and girlfriends of friends only steal multigrain bars. They should stop eating them and get a little monosodium glutamate in their diets. That will fix the wagons of all of these pilferers.
Until at least tomorrow, I think this is the Best Invention Ever. If only I would have had something like this years ago, I would have not been accused of eating all the chocolate in the house. I could show people that it was all locked up so I couldn’t possibly have done it. Of course, if I am the only one with the key, then that would have solved that. Like all of the best products, the Fridge Locker is available for the paltry sum of $19.95. That is a magical number. It is so much cheaper than any of those $20 products. I don’t have that kind of money. Do you think I am rich? But I do have $19.95. But I am going to hope that my readers buy it for me for Christmas instead, right?
