Solving Unspoken Problems

This saucer is great. It's creative, and it's clever. But it has me thinking ... why is it clever? I mean, have I ever sat down with a cup of coffee and thought, "if only I had a terrific saucer under this cup"? No. Which,  I'm wondering, may be the reason it's clever.

It solves unspoken problems such as 1) saucers are boring and rarely used, 2) your coffee drips generally just pool around the center ring and dry, 3) sometimes you need some entertainment while relaxing with your cup o' joe. Truly, creative solutions come about by asking the right questions.

So what unseen problems are around us that we're not solving?

  1. This is creative! How do people get the idea to put two unrelated items together??
