INVENTOR'S NOTE
​​
On initial funding, Ideas Novel will make all necessary arrangements to produce the first batch of 10,000 Scaddys overseas and deliver them individually packaged to a warehouse in the continental U.S. This requires six months that include mold build, production, sample testing, and shipment.
​
Studies show that 90% of sandwich eaters have a sandwich at home at least once a month and 10% among them have a sandwich everyday, such as parents who pack for their schoolkids or folks who brown bag a sandwich to work. In market surveys conducted with Scaddy prototypes, there is tremendous interest observed even among weekly sandwich makers.
​
In the 260 year history of sandwiches, there has never been a gadget exclusively designed to help with making a delicious sandwich quickly at home. After 17 prototype builds and after seven years in development, the Scaddy has delivered and is now poised to break ground in a virtually untapped market where only a plastic container exists as a competition. Quite simply, the Scaddy turns sandwich making with multiple ingredients into a pleasure and not a chore. It allows people to have all the ingredients in one carry-all; therefore one reach into the refrigerator or a cooler besides offering a method for efficient sandwich making.

BACKGROUND:
Ideas Novel, LLC was founded in 2017 as a launching platform for new consumer products designed to make life more convenient at affordable prices. The flagship product, Scaddy, was originally an attempt to make a homemade gadget out of wood to store condiment bottles that in the end turned out to be too heavy. Computer models showed switching to a plastic material would cut down weight, but such a device could not be made at home. However, it offered considerably more design freedom to improve functionality and reduce costs in volumes. A concept for an all-encompassing product focused on sandwich preparation was born.
​
An early concept model of the Scaddy was introduced in small focus group meetings of diverse respondents from the Greater Philadelphia area over a four-week period in Jan-Feb 2017. The survey yielded immensely positive feedback that a 'flat top device specifically designed for sandwich ingredient storage and that aids in sandwich making' would be useful and fill a void not currently addressed in the market. This set in motion an effort to build a mass-production prototype. Mold makers across the U.S were consulted early on to incorporate special molding techniques required to keep the frame lightweight and yet rigid. Every new revision was developed with an eye on enhancing product utility and consumer appeal while simplifying the design to keep production costs low.
