      The George Foreman machine is still my “peak design”. And yet nobody owns one after everyone burned out on it from oversaturation.

        They still sell panini press grills. It’s generally a bachelor pad thing though.

      Someone needs to create a business that bails out/buys excellent quality products and produces them in a small enough scale that only new owners will need.

      Consider it an excellent achievement for a product to make it here. Only the best buy it for life products.

          And the concept of infinite growth.

          Financially, if your company is not expanding an increasing amount quarter on quarter on quarter, it’s considered to be failing.

          And yet, nothing can grow forever. At some point, all things must come to an end. It’s an unrealistic pipe dream.

          Say that the Instant Pot is so good that everyone has ten of them. Where would they grow from there?
