April Fool's Day to Inspiration
Back in 2003, the website ThinkGeek released their annual list of April Fool's Day gadgets and items that didn't exist. One of the items was described as the "George Foreman USB iGrill". The idea behind the joke was that an iPod and the George Foreman Grill could be combined. But, the designers of the Foreman grills saw an opportunity. They developed a 200 square inch nonstick grilling surface for indoor and/or outdoor barbecuing. The device also included speakers and a USB dock allowing for an MP3 player to play music while grilling. What started as a joke has led to an innovative product.
