This is a great article for all of us business creative types who can’t stop thinking up ideas for new products and services.

Your business idea is so bad that it’s good. Very good. Sure, getting it from your brain to store shelves might be tough, but well…what if?

For Paul Stremple, inventor of the Banana Bunker, that “what if” has become a reality. Fruit lovers are clamoring for his plastic prophylactic that expands or contracts to fit a banana of any size, protecting the delicate fruit from nicks and bruises. The idea came to him by chance, after his sister complained that her midday snack kept getting smooshed in her briefcase. Granted, eyeing the banana-shaped container may bring a blush to your cheek. But that hasn’t stopped the bunker (retail price: $4.99) from becoming a popular item at the Museum of Modern Art’s gift store. “It’s a little suggestive, and that’s probably helped in my marketing,” Stremple concedes.

Check out these weird but great ideas:

Paul Stremple — Banana Bunker: A plastic container that keeps your fruit safe until you are ready to snack.

Curt and Sue Todd — MailWraps: A magnetic mailbox cover that features colorful artwork.

Carl Goldberg — Roadie by RuffRider: An automobile safety harness for dogs.

Bill Bradford — Johnny-Light: A toilet bowl night light.

Patty Brisben and son, Chris Cicchinelli — Pure Romance: A company that sells “relationship enhancement” products such as bedroom toys and lotions to women via gatherings similar to Tupperware parties.
