The problem with one-size-fits-all đˇ
Hi Reader,
If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, hereâs an opportunity for you. It appears that one-size-fits-all facemask sizing most makers use only works if your headâs smaller than a jack-oâ-lantern. And my husband and I have learned that we do not have heads smaller than large pumpkins. So we have a growing number of facemasks we canât use because our noggins are too big.
You canât try on a facemask before buying it. And weâve learned that facemasks described as being for âmost headsâ canât accommodate our skullsâ vast expanses.
What we big-headed people need is a better way to size facemasks. Itâs a problem ripe for an entrepreneurâs solution. You may not make Jeff Bezos-level money, but you could go down in history as developing universal facemask sizing. What an achievement that would be!
Books are another area where a one-size-fits-all approach doesnât fly, which is why I compile this group of booklists each week. You can use these lists to find a book that fits your tastes.
And when youâre not reading, you can come up with a way to size facemasks. We pumpkin heads need you.
Be wise, stay safe, and thanks for reading,
Nick
