Idea Province

I have more ideas than I'll ever use: ideas for movies, inventions, utopias, T-shirts, businesses, and more. I could hoard them, but what would be the point? If you have ideas that you're squandering, send them to me - Rhys Southan - at mrsouth (-at-) gmail (-dot-) com. I'll post them for the world to take... if the world has any use for them.

Detachable sleeves

This idea comes from regular Idea Province reader S. Crow:

I… like the idea of not using paper napkins, which happen to be made from virgin wood and represent the heighth [sic] of wastefullness [sic]. I have designed a clothing line that has what’s called a “dining sleeve”. The sleeve is detachable and can be replaced with another “dining sleeve,” after usage. The design will offer the “diner” the convenience of wiping his mouth on his sleeve rather than throwing out yet another barely used paper product.. I think this idea could also translate quite well to those suffering with an annoying head cold.

The only problem is how to sell these to Joe Six-Pack eating a microwaved dinner in front of the TV with no shirt. Perhaps one could make stand-alone sleeves designed with Budweiser and Coors logos?
