Transcript excerpt

I had this crazy invention idea for a silicone sleeve that would turn any shampoo bottle into a wall mounted dispenser. The early prototypes were ugly, a better they worked. The squeezy was born and I used kickstarter to bring the product to market. I found a manufacturer who could mass produce the squeezy for me and used Amazon to sell. The squeezy stretches to fit most bottle shapes. It organizes your shower and lets you get every last drop of your favorite products. Once the squeezy became a success, the counterfeiters tried to steal my idea and trick customers into buying their useless knockoffs. The knockoffs are total useless garbage that just leak and fall down constantly. Just look at this stupid thing. Luckily, I have issued patents and good lawyers who wipe them out. The squeezy makes showering easy.
