Did you think of it first?... American Idol, the Snuggie, etc.??

Believe it or not, (I'm sure you're not), but I had the EXACT same idea for creating a show like American Idol before it came out.... just never put it down on paper so I'm sure nobody will believe me. Anybody else thought of a big success only to have someone else execute it? Like if you thought about a concept such as the snuggie then saw it on TV, wouldn't that just suck? Oh I'm frustrated, but oh well.. I never would have pulled it off.
by the way, the person who came up with the snuggie is now a happy multi-millionaire. So.. if you think of a good idea, just go for it. If I had moved on anything close to American Idol - even locally or something - who knows, I may have gotten some sort of credit! hahaha, wishful thinking :)
p.s does anybody else have a crush on Adam Lambert??????

I have one. A few years ago, I was out with my friends and we all wanted some ice cream because of the hot weather. A couple of us were on a diet so we just watched our other friends eat ice cream while we pretended not to want any. Then I came up with an idea. Why not make something that can be eaten like ice cream, but healthier? We were walking passed a grocery store and I remembered those yoghurt cups I used to hate when I was a kid. I told my friends about my crazy idea and we tried it out. We bought cups of frozen yoghurt and a few sprinkles in the grocery and ate. We loved it. It's what we ate everytime some of us were on a diet and even if noone was.
Then recently, stalls started popping up here and there selling forzen yoghurt with toppings. My friends always joke about how my brain child was kidnapped by someone else with more resources to actually start a business out of it. :P
