This is a new game called “Good Idea or Bad Idea,” where you needed to pick whether each product idea was “good” or “bad.” These are all ideas that do not exist today or are not well known by the vast majority. It’s also important to note that many of these ideas may be more difficult and cost-inefficient to produce, but it’s a fun way to think about what’s possible.

Some Notes
- PRX does make a landmine that doubles as barbell storage. There seems to only be a wall-mounted version. A rack-mounted version would be pretty handy.
- A few people did mention that “bench bars” have existed in the past, but they are very tough to find when doing a simple Google search. Nevertheless, Texas Power Bars did announce that they’d be releasing one soon on an April 21, 2021, Instagram post. 58% said this was a “good idea.”
