[ laughter and applause ]

>> that one didn't make it, we didn't make that. >> jay: what is this? >> food storage is important, you always want to store your food in your cupboard. but the problem is, as you start using things, let's say you're making yourself a little bowl of cereal in the morning, you wind up storing a lot of air. and air takes up a lot of room in your cabinet. so, you just squish this down and you're never storing any air. >> jay: wow! that's a -- wow, look at that. [ applause ] that is actually very good. man, that collapsed faster than the new york yankees. look at that, that was amazing. [ laughter ] that's actually a very good idea. how much did the inventor of this one make? >> that just came out, but this inventor has done 10 products on quirky. 10 products we've commercialized for renee. >> jay: okay, very good. >> okay, so, a lot of people move, right? and, these large odd-sized boxes are hard to get a grip on. these are nice, simple, cheap things, that all you do is put it on the side of the box and then you keep these wheels in your drawer, and you can just clip them right on. >> jay: isn't that amazing?
11:52 pm

[ laughter ] makes hundreds of julienne fries! that's amazing. >> do i sound like an infomercial guy? >> jay: no, but i love infomercial people. now this is a what? a sink filled with dirty water? >> it is. anwhen you clean dishes the sink gets dirty. it might be hot water, and you don't wanna stick your hand in there to get the sink stopper out. this is a product called raft. it floats. and so, all you do is you lift it out -- >> jay: oh, that's really clever! >> -- floating right in the top of the bowl, and you're good to go. >> jay: boy, you know where this would really be good? the person that has to clean charlie sheen's hot tub. [ laughter ] you don't want to put your hand in there. so you just reach over, and you pull this out, and -- [ applause ] >> no germs. >> jay: that's actually -- now, how much would the inventor of this make?
11:53 pm
>> so this is available at every single target store. we've sold hundreds of thousands of them. >> jay: yeah? >> and the inventor is gonna make probably $75,000 this year. >> jay: wow. well, that's amazing. just a floating -- that's very good, cool. >> it's amazing. >> jay: and what is this next one? this one did not make the cut? >> this one didn't make it. sometimes people take the name of our company a little too literally. we see crazy, quirky ideas. this was invented by someone who wanted to be able to send a a signal to their partner that they were ready for love. >> jay: ready for love? >> this is called the love mat. >> jay: the love mat? >> that's it, you just unroll it, you put it right on your bed. and that sends to your special person that it's time. >> jay: it's time, really? >> it's time. [ light laughter ] >> jay: and women, what woman wouldn't be -- oh, that would turn you on, wouldn't it, really?
