7 simple innovations that raised millions of dollars!

Man creates new and useful things every day that facilitate his daily life, and despite the simplicity of some innovations and their lack of importance, they have gained wide fame and collected millions of dollars.

Pet Rocks

They were created by the American Gary Dahl and are small rocks covered with the shapes of pets in 1975.

Gary Dahl was listening to his friend's complaint about his pet, which needed him care, attention, feeding and other things, and he jokingly suggested that he raise gravel - a rock - as it would cost him nothing.

It wasn't until Dahl marketed a group of rocks, which he wrapped in cardboard with holes for ventilation, with a guide for use and breeding attached, and he sold a single rock for $ 3.95, and within only 6 months, five million pieces had been sold to make an estimated profit of $ 56 million.

Snuggie blanket

It is a differently designed blanket with sleeves so that the wearer does not feel cold while sitting and using something with their hands, at a price ranging between 10 to 12 dollars.

This blanket achieved a very high volume of sales, and between the fall of 2008 and the end of 2009, more than 20 million units were sold in the United States of America.

Furby game

This colorful fur game won great fame and is a very entertaining game for children and adds fun to them through its ability to vibrate its body with movements and sounds so funny that it spread in the market to sell 27 million units a year after it appeared on the market in 1988.

Dave Hampton and Caleb Chung spent nine months inventing Furby, and the game was only $ 40 at first, but it rose to $ 100 in a three-year period.

Magic 8 Ball

Created by Albert Carter and Abbie Buckman, it is a ball that answers questions with specific answers. And it was discovered that it was a trick later since this ball is basically a tube containing a sphere surrounded by alcohol and dye, and on each side there are different answers.

Koosh ball

It was created by engineer Scott Stillinger while he was trying to search for his children for a ball that could be easily picked up and then left his job and started with another person a company dedicated to children's toys called OddzOn Products.
