Beach Hot Dog Stand

Idea: A small business selling hot dogs on the beach. Also: pot dogs; if it's a nude beach, would the hot dogs have a bun?; picking on the idea a little too much by saying that the hot dogs would get covered by sand, sweat, seagull poop, and flakes of sun-burnt skin

Booze Buffet

Idea: A drinking establishment which serves plain alcohol and contains a self-serve buffet of drink mixers, with a guidebook of common drink recipes. Also: beer snobs judgmentally watching you mix your drink, saving money on drinks by not having to pay a bartender, the "bar" is a physical barrier to block drunk people from stealing alcohol, the weirdness of drinking laws

Raciogastrointestinal Harmony

Idea: To solve racism by forcing everybody to wear augmented-reality race-swapping glasses which cause them to see their family and their favorite celebrities as the race that they hate the most. Also, a theory that the reason it's hard to digest "ethnic food" (or food from other cultures/races) is racism, and therefore that ending racism will cause both racial and gastrointestinal harmony

"Try Anything For Free" Grocery Store

Idea: A grocery store where, instead of having only a handful of free samples, you can have a free sample of anything you want. You select the item and scan it with a phone app, which will tell you if you've reached your free sample limit for the week, if you've already tried the item (and thus can't have another free sample), or if you're approved for the free sample. Some items will be totally free (you can just throw it in your grocery cart and it'll be free when you check out), and other items will have smaller free portions, in which case the app will instruct an employee in the store to prepare a free sample for you, which will be available for you to pick up at the customer service counter by the time you finish shopping. The goal is to motivate people to come to the grocery store instead of shopping online.

Food Oasis

Idea: A service for ordering and purchasing healthy fresh foods in convenience stores and gas stations where there are no nearby grocery stores (i.e. in "food deserts"). Customers pre-ordering via a phone app, intelligent predictive demand algorithms, and order sniping would allow this to be financially plausible. Also: solving a major world problem as a form of revenge to steal the glory from another person trying to solve the same problem

Roll-On Butter Stick

Idea: A roll-on butter stick which looks like a stick of deodorant for buttering food without a knife. Also: confusing a roll-on butter stick with deodorant, accidentally putting bleach in the dishwasher instead of dishwasher detergent, squishing the bread

Restaurant Touchscreen Tables

Idea: restaurant tables containing touchscreens for ordering food, so you don't need menus (or waitresses). Also: bumping the touchscreen while eating, accidentally stabbing the touchscreen with a knife if it looks like food, khakis taking over your wardrobe and the khakiness seeping into your soul

Uncooked Chicken Diet

Idea: To intentionally eat uncooked chicken to get sick in order to lose weight. It would be normal uncooked chicken with cooking instructions on the package that leave it undercooked, and these instructions would justify charging twice the normal price. Also: a few other ridiculously unhealthy ideas for losing weight

Apple Tree Nets

Idea: Nets to catch apples which fall out of apple trees, so they don't land on the ground, in which case they can't legally be sold in stores. The nets could also be used to catch deer who wander into the apple orchard trying to eat the apples

Breakfast Brick

Idea: A "fast casual" Chipotle-like restaurant for breakfast food (like a breakfast buffet, but with someone standing between you and the food, making you late for work). Or a drive-thru where the breakfast food as squeezed into a portable "breakfast brick" that you can eat in your car

Self-Doubt Removal Pill

Idea: A pill to remove self-doubt and shame, but without causing you to lose self-awareness and/or becoming arrogant (like alcohol). Because good people feel self-doubt and shame when they shouldn't, and bad people already don't feel shame

Sober Pill

Idea: A pill to instantly (or within a few minutes) absorb the alcohol in a drunk person's body and make them sober, so they can drive home (or go back into the bar for round 2), and won't have a hangover the next morning

New Low-Carb Eating Utensils

Idea: New eating utensils for low carb meals, because Tom thinks that low-carb bowls (like burrito bowls) and salads take too long to chew. He has 3 ideas of new utensils: burger scoop, half-lemon on a stick, and doughless pizza pan/plate with pizza wiper

Beef Leash

Seeing a hungry dog try to eat it's leash led to the idea of actually making an edible dog leash out of beef, which led to the idea of making adult toys out of beef and other foods. Also, Ella saved a frog from a toilet

Serve Mouthwash in Bars

Since mouthwash has alcohol in it, why not serve it as a drink in bars? You could use the lid of the mouthwash bottle as a shot glass, and maybe serve it as a drink named "Winter Gut". Also, it might be the only recreational drug that make your teeth healthier

Bad Omen Cookies

Fortune cookies which give you a bad fortune (for the sake of humor), such as "someone you love is gonna die soon", "you'll meet the woman of your dreams, but nightmares are also dreams", or a creepy picture of Bill Cosby's smiling face
