Have you ever been so proud of an idea that you just took it and ran with it? Thought it was the next big break, that it would go viral, your new pride and joy?
The people on this list did something similar, taking their idea and pushing it to the extreme. Let’s see their examples!
“My local supermarket is selling airplane food because nobody is flying.”
Regardless of your thoughts on airline food, you have to admit it’s at least better than any other microwavable meal you’ll find!
“My aunt sent me a post card that you need to puzzle to read the message.”
This is so cute! A small game, a happy memory, and you could even glue the pieces together to make something tougher and longer-lasting than a standard postcard!
“The people who made my guitar pick couldn’t be bothered to buy the stock photo.”
Clearly, they don’t need to. You still bought the pick, after all.
“An Actual Spork.”
At this point, I’d rather just drink the soup from the bowl.
“My sister is collecting banana stickers.”
Every time I saw an ad on a banana sticker, I wondered who they were for. Now I know, it’s this guy’s sister!
“[Little] paper cranes as packaging paper.”
Pretty, provides support/cushioning, can be recycled, there are no downsides!
“Thanks to a Christmas wreath holder, I turned my two headed shower faucet into a luxurious spa usually only seen in magazines.”
This can be elevated even further. Get a third showerhead, put a hook in the ceiling, then boom, rainfall shower.
“This thrift shop sorts their books by color.”
I appreciate the aesthetic, but for a thrift store, genre sorting is the only way to go. At home, though? This would rule.
“3D printed model of my brain from an MRI scan.”
Now you can stare at the slab of flesh that pilots your every thought and action whenever you want! Surely that won’t get existential.
“This 107 year old 6 bedroom Victorian house is being moved 8 blocks tonight to a new address!”
I see that it’s on some sort of truck but wouldn’t it have been easier if you, say, tied a bunch of balloons to it and piloted it there?
“Hello and welcome to Poland.”
Hi! Thanks for the welcome. Unfortunately, I think I’ll have to leave immediately as I’m already afraid.
“My teacher made Pokémon animal type of cards for science.”
This is incredible! Teachers are among the most creative and dedicated people on this planet. The lengths they’ll go to elevate learning for their students is admirable.
“[This] pan that makes only edge brownies.”
I am suddenly flooded with memories of infomercials for this item that would play endlessly on TV when I was a kid. It’s just as mystical to me now as it was back then.
“Found this gnome town on a walk in the woods today.”
What a cute little city, and they seem so nice! Any houses for sale? I’ve been thinking about moving.
“This [roof’s] shingles are solar panels!”
Seeing this makes me really feel like we’re living in 2021. This was supposed to be the future! There should be more cool stuff like this!
“This pit in my 1927 garage that was uncovered doing demo.”
Just a pit? Nothing down there? You’re sure there’s nothing down there? Alright, but when one of your demo crew goes missing, I’d check here first.

Can’t rust, does its job, will last a long time. There are practically no cons.
“My 9 year old daughter noticed Pixel earbud packaging made a great 3D alien!”
And she was right! I’d foster that creativity if I were you, she’s got a great eye.
“You can get a gallon of soda at KFC/A&W.”
The novelty is great, but there’s no way pouring soda from a bag is easy. Especially a gallon of it!

Who needs Christmas decorations when you can just do this and call it a day?
