Innovations From a Bad Economy

Some of the best and maybe even most important innovations have come in times of fledgling economies. While we are certainly in that state right now in the United States, let's take a looka t some of the innovations that popped up during past economic downturns.

I'm sure most understand that companies such as Campbell's actually do well when the economy stinks. They are after all selling can goods. Food that is typically less expensive, and can be bought in bulk when on sale because it can be preserved. While you might think they hwould have made some advancement in can tech they actually were distributing new products during tough economic times such as the introduction of the soup standard Chicken Noodle, and the cooking standard Cream of Mushroom in 1934 amidst the Great Depression.

Tailgating is Big Business

Something I have never considered as a business idea was to take advantage of tailgating for sporting events. Certainly I have attended my fair share of tailgating parties at sporting events around the country, but alas I was usually either too "geared up" for the game, or just too cold to think straight like at LAmbeau Field in Green Bay in December (burrrrr).

Fans flowing out to watch college football, or even the biggest sporting event in the United States, the Super Bowl, probalby have a lot of the tailgating standards that a fanatical tailgater has. Just who makes them, and what the standards are, has never been something I put much thought into until I saw this article today.

It shows an array of tailgating supplies that any serious tailgater should have. From grills to canopies. Also, shares who sells it all, and how they have transformed the tailgating experience and made it like having a portable house with you.
