    We all have ideas that we think can make us millionaires. Those light bulb moments when you dream up an invention that no else has yet imagined. In truth very few ideas prove to be successful and for every new creation that turns out to be a big hit, there are countless others that fail spectacularly.
    But amongst the failures are some incredibly simple and often unconventional ideas that have made their developers hugely wealthy, and sometimes for very little effort.
    Which are the best of the best? That’s what we’ll be looking at in this episode of The Infographics Show: Unlikely inventions that made millions.

      Bag of dirt called potting soil. In Flint water Criss they needed lots of drinking water because city water wasn't safe. People use wood to make a fire to keep warm, also children learn how to build things with tinker toys, Lincoln logs and game called tumbling tower. Computerized version of the game called Tetris when you stack imaginary falling blocks.

    i hate how things went for fidget spinners bc they were used inappropriately by neurotypical students and banning them from schools made it worse for the neurodivergent students who need them they're SUPPOSED to be used for adhd and anxiety they're meant to be a tool to calm down anxious students and help adhd students to focus bc without smth to fidget with we have more trouble focusing yeah there's other fidget toys but with how huge the fidget spinners were they probably helped so many students who don't/didn't know of other fidgets before they got banned why can't schools just tell the teachers to take the spinners from students who are ACTUALLY being distracted by them? that would make it better for everyone
