Was curious as to what Freepers think are inventions that we can't live without.

As to the "Toothbrush"...it must have been invented by someone in North Carolina. Otherwise, it would be called a "Teethbrush". :)

Water based paint. Highly underrated invention. I HATE paint thinner. If I have to use an oil based product I just throw away the brush.

inventions that we can't live without.

I was asked this question during a Table Topics session at Toastmasters. The answer was obvious. we need look no further than Richard Nixon's old friend Bebe Rebozo. He established his fortune on an invention which changed the course of history.

He invented the valve which operates/delivers product from an aerosol can. Therefore, everything from shaving cream, to cheese spread, to insect repellant, to underarm deoderant, to shaving lotion, to topical medications to furniture polish to well......I could go on and on.

I can't imagine a football, hockey, basketball or baseball game in the comfort of my Lazyboy without that Cheese Wizz and some Ritz Crackers and of course muh beer! Why it'd be the Dark Ages.......

I once invented a hybrid I named a SPICHEN. It was a cross between a large South American spider and a white leghorn chicken. It had eight drum sticks and spun its own chicken pens. Peta banned it.

Texas aTm's 12th Man kick-off coverage team. Hey Coach Fran... can you take the hint?

Trajan88; TAMU Class of '88

p.s. Heddy Lamar, Ava Gardner, Vivien Leigh, Grace Kelly, Sandy Bullock, and Brooke Burke among other hotties are pretty good "inventions" too.

Best invention? One the Lord built by hand. My wife. Unfortunately, He did not provide an owners manual so I'm still not sure how she works yet. Just when I think I have things all figured out she has an unexpected malfunction. Which she says is "due to operator error". Which would be me.
