Final Product Decision, Dun Dun Dun...

BB&B Decision is over - the finalists were picked. And of course, the top scores WEREN'T EVEN MENTIONED. Great, thanks. Wonderful. I definitely understand why my product wasn't picked

1. Manufacturing Costs
2. Shipping Costs
3. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?


I will take these issues to heart for future ideations. Nonetheless, why weren't the top scores even mentioned in the video> > > PRETTY LAME. End story. Here are the winners, below:



Clothes Drying Rack/Folding Hanger; Leanne Luce
Alright, if you were gonna go with a drying rack, freakin go with the double-towel rack (http://www.quirky.com/ideations/55326). Now, I don't know if there's a patent on that idea but it was 500x better than this beast. Who needs a drying rack? College students use dryers - fold their laundry there - and bring it back ready to put in drawers. Maybe chicks would use them, I'm not sure. Definitely marketable - sellable. Ehh, maybe it's not as bad as I am making it out to be. Yea, this one is chill - the more I write about it the better it becomes...Hahaha. Cool. Alright fine. Pick this one. Im cool with it...

"Private Alarm;" Paula Dorfman



I'm pretty sure someone else had this idea up, too. In fact, I'm 90% positive someone else had this exact idea - so how do you choose one over the other? They were both pillow alarm clocks. I will have to find the link and get back to you guys on this...anyway, I have seen this killer alarm clock that vibrates your pillow when there are waves. It's for surfers - it's pretty sick. I'm surprised there aren't comparable products in the market place. Never did any research on this one. Pretty cool, marketable, yes. If it connects to your ipod/iphone/mp3 player then it would be killer. Definitely has a ton of potential. I'd pick this if the research says yes.

Pivoting & Moveable Desk; Fred Zaw
Sweet renderings, I'm not gonna lie, nonetheless, not that cool. Honestly, it's pretty cheesy, like easy mac. College students use their desk. End story. Not a whack add-on feature...
