For whatever reason I decided to watch some of the other entries.

An entry by Keanen Edlin showcased a 'memory mug', which is eerily similar to the OP's 'To Do' mug. However, there are few subtle differences:

The memory mug is a travel mug as opposed to a ceramic stay at home mug. I don't know about you, but I like my to do lists to go. The group then painted a travel mug with a chalkboard like surface. They went to a supplier and bought 240 mugs to do this to. They then got 3 retailers (including one Winks outlet) to buy them from anywhere between $4 and $12 per mug. Which turned a profit of just over $700.

Compare that to Mr. Ha's $192 profit, and his idea is no longer original, nor was it that great compared to all the others.

The video also poked fun at how boring watching the entry videos was, so +1 to that.

Also, one girl is going to burn her house down with a lamp made out of styrofoam cups. That one was all sorts of win.

Whoops. Hour's up. 3 more votes for Wannamaker.
