Open thread: What's the best idea you've ever had?

Had a bright idea? We want to hear from you.

IT’S HARD TO tell at the time what ideas are gems and which are duds, but it’s usually with the benefit of hindsight that we can figure it out.

For some, a fairly humble idea – like deciding to go for that pint after work one evening – could lead to a momentous event, like meeting the love of their life.

Going travelling…

Or staying put.

A true couch potato. Imgur Imgur

Popping the question…

Yes pizza, I will marry you ♥ Imgur Imgur

Or popping the kettle on.

Quick the British are awake, pour them a nice cup of tea! Imgur Imgur

Here at 7UP Free, we believe that everyone is naturally unique and original – and so are your ideas.

Enter your 7 word original idea here.
