You know what we’ve always thought was missing from the confectionery market? Pharmaceuticals! Not really, but that’s because we’re not Sam from Manchester, the Willy Wonka of over-the-counter drugs:
When I was at university, I had too many essays to do in not enough time, so I came up with a new invention – chocolate-covered Pro Plus. It was perfect: an initial hit of chocolate followed by the long lasting effect of Pro Plus. It was so good I thought they should make it!
So answer me this: have you ever had an idea that you think should be taken into production? Obviously other than a national radio station taking up the show and paying you lots of money!
While I recover from the coughing fit brought on by the idea that radio pays lots of money, you readers must go forth to the comments and tell us about your own ideas of gaps in the market. Let’s get some of them into production, people! Ibuprofen jelly, how about it?

What about a combination of coffee and tea served either hot or cold? All the punch of coffee with the soothing effect of tea.

Well it has apparently. In Hong Kong it exists and is called Yuanyang. Mmm.

Exlax… the chocolate flavoured laxative.
I had a really good idea for an App whereby whilst on a bus or train thinking you were going to fall asleep, you set your destination on google maps or something and alarm automoatically goes off when you are a certain distance away from the destination.
Turns out it may be in production but DAMMIT everyone i told this to thought it was a great idea!

Yes, for a school project (2000) we had to invent and Market a Cudbury product, I came up with Cadbury Cream Egg chocolate bar!
Your idea is great but it’s already on the Market, I was given caffeine filled chocolate before, my friend found it hilarious that I thought it tasted so disgusting I cleaned my teeth 3 times only to then vomit! I would hardly reccomend the stuff but it was from cibercandy
