Have you ever invented and sold something?

I invented an improved chocolate dipping tank and sold…well…1.

I invented sexy. I believe eponymoushipster was one of my earliest and most loyal customers.

Yes. Several times. =)

Would you like to expand on your question a little?

@Jayne
I hold the patent.
You’ll be hearing from my attorneys.

@Jayne . . .You could bring sexy back…Oh, wait…nevermind.

@SeventhSense; by waiting so long to make your claim- long enough for sexy to go out of fashion and get brought back- you allowed me to vastly outstrip your enterprises in sexiness manufacturing, in terms of output, quality-assurance, and efficiency of operations. Thus, I can afford to buy off any attorney or judge you care to name with copious amounts of grade-A sexy. You should probably leave the country while you still can.

No it’s retroactive. In fact I put the fun in funky as well.

@Harp : A chocolate dipping tank? If that’s what I think it is, I’d like one built in my spare bedroom to dive into every night after dinner. And sometimes for breakfast.

As mentioned once before, I invented the cordless extension cord.

Like the other men in my family, we invent, we do not sell. I invented mac and cheese with cheddar and brocolli, Kraft stole the idea. Years ago, my Dad and his brothers invented the rear tine self propelled garden tiller. Toro stole their idea by conning them out of the patent.

I invented a comic book superhero named Astro Chuck….

I create what I need when necessary. I am not into selling much of anything.

@AstroChuck I don’t want to steal your thunder but I invented the hammer you make thunder with T—r.

I had invented a software that can teach you your name :P. No I have not sold it. lo0o0l

I invented a Japanese cockroach exterminator. (Gokiburi are huge. Think Florida palmettos only bigger. )
I placed a laser on the floor and used it as a sender pointed at a light sensor. The sensor was connected to a 12v relay that would energize when the light beam was broken. I hooked that output to the trigger switch on my son’s Air Soft 12volt MP5 Machine Gun placed on the floor and aimed alongside the beam. When a roach would walk by and break the beam, the gun would automatically fire a flurry of 6mm BB at 8 shots per second at 300 fps (90m/s).
It was very effective. Disgusting, but effective.
All the single guys in the office wanted one. The prissy women (and most guys with children) considered it dangerous. Wimps!

@evelyns_pet_zebra : lol – is the character a young boy in black and white?

@Lupin : That’s crazy!

@ubersiren where do you think AC got the picture he uses for his avatar?

@Lupin, that’s awesome. Can you invent one for squirrels?

@evelyns_pet_zebra and @Lupin : Now one for squirrels I could definitely have used not long ago.

Gasp! I wonder what the real childhood pictures of @AstroChuck look like!

@evelyns_pet_zebra You know there is nothing preventing modification of the device.
Except fear and common sense!

@ubersiren One Chocuzzi, coming up!

@Lupin, fear and common sense have never stopped me before!

@Harp : Chocuzzi… sometimes I think I’m among geniuses here on Fluther.

@evelyns_pet_zebra Stepping out of bed and into the beam is not a pleasant way to start the day. Not that it’s ever happened, of course…

I invented a vegetable omelette, only to discover that it was already in the cookbook and called a frittata.

These answers are funny. LOL.

I attempted a scab transplant as i kid and described it to the Journal of the American Medical Association. they never got back to me.

I invented the dancefloor.

I invented a hand cutter for sand blast artists to use on buttercut resist. One of the tricks for a clean cut is not to remove the cutter from the design. On a large piece going around corners is very difficult. My cutter would have made that easy. Unfortunately due to circumstances, a prototype is as far as I got.

@Jayne
Well I think the monkey should get his money back. :P

I invented a prelubrication system for diesel engines and patented it. Daimler Benz bought the rights and use it on their trucks as an option. My car, I believe is the only M-B automobile with such a system installed. D-B chose not to offer the system on their cars.
