RestAngles

The go anywhere portable footrest

Candy FitzPatrick was miserable on her flight home. Crammed in a middle seat, her feet were unable to touch the floor, causing terrible discomfort. As bad as that experience was, it sparked an idea.

What if you could access a footrest at any time? Candy invented RestAngles to give your feet a comfortable place to rest no matter where you are. It’s compact and portable — great for airplanes, car rides, and anywhere else your legs may dangle.

It folds down completely flat for easy transport. Lugging around a stool everywhere you go just isn’t practical. RestAngles is designed to easily fit in any bag so you’ll never have to leave home without it.

The deal: Candy loves sending out Grommet orders from her local Post Office near her home in Alaska. Receive 20% off when you upvote RestAngles today!

#2. Taste: Although food scientists have made progress in this area, it can be tough to match the taste of a juicy steak or hamburger.

What do you think? Will meat-free options become more common in the years to come, or will their adoption never reach the mainstream?
