Contest Seeks Next Crazy Invention

"Wacky products like fart-absorbing pads, inflatable bra inserts, and disposable underwear just go to show you that there really is a market out there for anything.

No one knows that better than Kim Olenicoff, founder of Solutions That Stick Inc., a Southern California-based company that has carved out a niche selling weird, offbeat products that solve common problems.

Olenicoff is the proud creator of best-selling gems like Subtle Butt – a small strip of activated carbon fabric with an antimicrobial layer that absorbs the stench of farts when placed inside underwear – and Yoobies, inflatable inserts for bras that give the girls a quick lift. Now, she is lending a helping hand to fellow innovators who want consumers to get wind of their own zany products.

Olenicoff and her crew at Solutions That Stick have just launched the I Should Have Invented That! Contest, urging aspiring inventors to submit their ideas before midnight PST on Nov. 12 at solutionsthatstick.com.

A panel of judges including retail experts will choose seven to 10 finalists and post them on Facebook.com/SolutionsThatStick for the public to vote on beginning Nov. 17.

Whichever inventor gets the most votes by Dec. 2 will win the contest and get the guidance to finally turn their idea or product into a reality — before someone else thinks of it.

Olenicoff told AOL News she'll personally help steer the winning inventor in the right direction, from helping with the design of the product to manufacturing and marketing it."
