HOW IT ALL STARTED

Stupid technologies

Surprisingly smart solutions

"Well, it's stupidly obvious and I love it. I want two more for my kids and our other car." That’s what a friend said to us in the small village of Tower Lakes, IL when we showed her the first prototype Car Tray.

From that moment on, not only was a product name born, but an entire mission to fire-up manufacturing in the Midwest USA.

Designed and Manufactured in the USA

CHICAGO, ACTUALLY

1. The Origin

Stupid Technologies was born from a straightforward (and somewhat humorous) philosophy: life is full of little annoyances and solving them shouldn’t be complicated. It all started with a simple mission: find the everyday problems that cause people grief and create straightforward, no-nonsense solutions to fix them. From that spark, Stupid Technologies was formed—a brand that isn’t afraid to embrace the funny side of everyday challenges.

2. Our Approach

At Stupid Technologies, we look at the world differently. Our team is dedicated to turning common, often silly frustrations into functional products. Whether it's the Stupid Car Tray keeping your pizza off the floor, or other items in the works to simplify your life, each product carries a bit of humor, a lot of practicality, and an approachable design. We know that life is complicated enough, so our solutions are meant to simplify, not over-engineer.

3. Why “Stupid” Technologies?

The name "Stupid" might sound self-deprecating, but we wear it as a badge of honor. We embrace the “stupid” side of innovation—finding the most obvious, straightforward ways to make life better. We take what others might overlook or complicate and turn it into something usable, fun, and highly
practical. By embracing this name, we’re saying we’re unafraid to keep things simple, lighthearted, and unpretentious.

4. Building Simple Solutions

Our products are created with a no-frills approach, focused on making life easier without a learning curve. We believe that the best solutions are often the simplest, and we’re committed to delivering high-quality products that work reliably every time. Stupid Technologies aims to be the brand people turn to when they need solutions that are as practical as they are clever.

5. Our Growing Line of Products

Stupid Technologies isn’t limited to one solution; we’re continuously exploring everyday challenges, bringing innovative (yet simple) solutions to the market. Each product embodies the same spirit—solutions that make you smile, even laugh, and make your day just a bit easier. We want every item with our name on it to add value, function, and a bit of joy to your life.

6. The Mission

Our mission is simple: make functional products that improve life’s little moments. We’re here to show that technology doesn’t have to be serious or complicated to be effective. Whether you’re using one of our products on a road trip, at work, or at home, Stupid Technologies is here to make those moments more enjoyable.

7. The Promise

We stand by our commitment to practicality, quality, and a touch of humor in everything we create. We promise that our products will bring ease and enjoyment, staying true to our brand’s lighthearted spirit and high standards. We also believe, as consumers ourselves, that you, our customers, deserve products guaranteed for quality as long as you own them. So if there is ever a problem, please do reach out directly.

Thank you for choosing our products. We're excited to be part of your journey, and we look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Sincerely,

The STUPID Technologies team!

LOCALLY MANUFACTURED

The result is something we are really proud of. Not just because we love using it and think it's cool, but because 200+ thousand people do as well.

We’ve had a blast sharing our products with drivers all over the world, and hearing how it’s made a stupidly obvious improvement for their driving experience.

WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO LOVE THE STUPID CAR TRAY
