"It was an idea born out of desperation, sadness and disappointment. It made me laugh when I didn't think I could," said the creator of the Teeny Weeny™ USB drive.
After a lucrative career as a creative director ended in layoff, Julie Schneider's husband of 2o years abandoned her, leaving her destitute. With an 19 year old still at home, she had to think fast of how she would make a living in a town that was drying up. Her positive nature and sense of humor made it possible for her to look beyond the hardships and reach out for success.
She took an idea to create a product that was widely used and pair it with a look that would be unforgettably shocking and funny. "Laughter helped me through the break up of my family and foreclosure. I knew many people were facing similar things. I wanted to make a useful product that made people laugh! Nearly everyone uses USB's, and who doesn't love a penis?"
Julie used her remaining credit to research her idea, find a manufacturer, build a prototype and file trademarks and patents in 36 countries. The USB memory is top quality. The rubber exterior is shock and static resistant, and it "blushes" when its' mounted! The product was tested by an independent source and received rave reviews. The youtube.com promotional was a huge hit and instrumental in making the launch a success. Youtube.com was drawing about 3,000 viewers each day and the website was drawing about 2,800 hits a day from 63 countries, with sales on four continents so far. Many people were buying 2-5 at a time.
Concerned for people struggling to make ends meet as the price of gas was steadily climbing, Ms. Schneider decided to offer free shipping anywhere in the world for orders of 5 or more. This naughty little USB has caused quite an uproar of laughter, and it's is spreading all over the world.
Playgirl got a hold of the Teeny Weeny and made it a prize for their blog contests. Women and men ages 18-70 are buying it. For those who have bought the Teeny Weeny™ USB, we'd love to hear your experiences with it, and the reaction of those you shared it with! Did it make you blush?
