Suppose you're a dumbass. Suppose too, you're trying to make a simple chicken curry and you happen to slice your fingers with a very sharp knife. Blood spurts everywhere - all over your countertops (your freshly cut salad, your nicely sliced bread, your floor, your sink). You turn on a faucet, plunge your hand under the cold water but the blood keeps throbbing out. So you grab some paper towels, wrap them tightly around your injured hand and go frantically searching for band-aids to staunch the flow of bleeding.
Relief. There they are, right there behind the Maalox. Pulling out the now blood-splattered box, you wrench the lid off, fumble to unstrip each individual band-aid, tear at the paper with your teeth, fumble some more, then finally get one free so you can peel away another layer of backstripping... all the while spurting blood everywhere. By the time you're done your band-aid is useless, it's been soaked and you have to try another one.
Sound familiar?
Hey, Masters of the Universe, Silicon Brainiacs, Entrepreneurs everywhere. Why can't someone develop an efficient band-aid delivery system after all these millennia? I know, you're too busy wiring new fiber-optic trading systems, brainstorming Social Networks, finding the next Angry Birds. Whatever. But, really? C'mon. An efficient band-aid dispenser could win the next Nobel Prize (if for no other reason than an entire world would be grateful).
I know... there are probably products out there that already do something like this. All I have to say to that is, DIE.
If you can't make a market out of a clear-cut no-brainer like this, then get out of the way and let someone who can. Is it so hard to make a dispenser that will produce band-aids like tissue paper, or like those roller-stamp thingies? Is that too much to ask? Apparently.
