How to Succeed as an Inventor: What Does an Inventor Do? Our guest is Bob Labbe, an Engineer, Author and Inventor

Meet Bob, a guy who has a pet peeve with drink coasters, and justifiably thinks you should too! Drink coasters are meant to protect any surface from the water rings produced by cold beverages - but they aren’t user-friendly.

One day before a nice dinner out at a restaurant, Bob was enjoying an ice cold drink with his family. He was dressed to the nines and decided to use a leather coaster for his drink. After about 10 minutes, he grabbed his beverage only to have the coaster stick to the bottom of his glass, spilling the condensation all over his tie, shirt, and slacks.

His silk tie was forever stained, and so a new product was born.

As a problem-solver, he got right to the drawing board.

He used his engineering knowledge to sketch The Ultimate Drink Coaster - one that protects surfaces from drink condensation AND prevents that condensation from spilling on the user.

His Captures all the condensation from your drink.

Controls where the condensation goes.

Conveys the condensation into the coaster, away from your drink container.

Contains the condensation, preventing spillage.

is the first on the market to do both, utilizing the capillary effect of water and a small basin to collect the run off.
