Amazing Entrepreneurial Ideas Part II

I have so many amazing entrepreneurial ideas that I even amaze myself. Please message me if you are interested in investing (I don’t deal with sums less than one million U.S. dollars.)

1) Peanut Butter tubs. Can someone explain to me why peanut butter comes in that tall slender jar? Its hard to get the knife in there, and inevitably you waste some that gets stuck on the bottom of the jar. I am a huge fan of peanut butter, and outside of putting it on sandwiches, I also like to dip things in it – carrots, celery, Sharpie pens, whatever. Its gross when you have to reach down in there and dip things into the peanut butter jar and you get it all over your wrist. That’s why peanut butter should come in tubs like hummus, a couple inches deep at the most. This would make it easy to dip, and you wouldn’t waste any or get it all over your hands. My entrepreneurial ideas are simple, yet astoundingly brilliant.

2) Actual Scientific Time Watch. Time zones are a crude approximation of the actual time. How could it be 3 p.m. at the same time in Seattle and Spokane when one is two hundred miles West? By definition, it is noon when the sun is directly overhead. That means that it can only be noon in one place at a time. An actual watch that tracks this would really be of assistance, because it would tell you exactly what time it really is all time. That way, if you’re late for something, you simply have to head West until you catch up, making you literally on time for everything.

3) Time-Out (A Cell-Phone App.) Say you’re out with your significant other having dinner, and they just won’t put their phone down. They keep texting and googling things and its annoying. Here’s where this app comes in, the person approves you as a friend on Time Out and you receive the ability to send them a signal and temporarily disarm their phone from working for anywhere from one to ten minutes.

4) No Bars. Like I said, the public texting thing is out of control. No Bars is a bar which scrambles cell phone signals for anyone inside, making it impossible to talk or text. It will be the most popular singles bar in whatever town it is in, because people will be forced to actually communicate with strangers.

5) Emotionally Reflective Fonts. You know when you text someone something and it just doesn’t translate? You get a text like “Nice Job” and you can’t tell if the person is being a dick or not. We need a font of text which reflects mood, not just communicates words. They way I envision it, the letters will slant backwards the happier you are, and forwards the angrier you are, simultaneously communicating mood and information. Frankly I’m astounded that we don’t have this yet. This is the most potentially lucrative of my entrepreneurial ideas.
