Edison Nation member Betsy Kaufman invented the hit As Seen On TV product Eggies. While standing over her stove early one morning, watching the water boil a few eggs, she came across her kooky concept. What about a heat-resistant, egg-shaped container that prevented hairline fractures? One that kept you from laboring over egg shells, the notorious bane of garbage disposals around the country? Betsys Eggies idea was quickly selected from an As Seen On TV search, and according to our partner, early indications show that Eggies is on track to becoming one of the best DRTV products of the year. Beginning this summer and fall, youll be able to find Eggies in Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond and many more stores across the country.$
