I learned about Flippin’ Boss on Kickstarter. Cool product and I can see a need for it—but their campaign never picked up much steam. Essentially, it’s a grilling accessory that combines tongs, a spatula, and a pot holder. Kind of a spork for grilling. (Ooh, that’s a good one. Too late to add it now?). After writing these, I might buy one.
Their video plays a few angles: Burnt forearms, dropping meat between the bars & using multiple tools. So there were a few ways to play this, which made it easier to write. Though, I have to say, this wasn’t as much fun as I expected.

Overall: Well done. Ha! No, seriously, I think they came out OK. I didn’t have a ton of information to work with, so it got a bit repetitive, but there are some solid lines in the mix.
Lessons: I tried a few new formulas today. They sped things along, but I always feel like I’m cheating when I use them. Ultimately, they’ll make me stronger.
- Using the templates, I knocked out 50 lines in 20 minutes. No challenge. No skill. Just Mad Libs style writing.
- This could be a fun one to create a campaign for. There’s some room to play.
- I hope this guy succeeds. He looks like he’s in it for the right reasons.
- I feel like there’s more to play with “sear” and “scorch” – but I didn’t quite nail it
- There’s a Game Of Thrones “unburnt” line in there somewhere…
Time: 50 minutes.
If anyone can nail that GOT or “scorched” line, please put it in the comments. I know it’s there.
