Big Belly Banks
The inspiration for Big Belly Banks came from a goose that chased me. It was trying to get a sandwich out of my hand. The higher I raised the sandwich the more the goose stretched its neck trying to reach it. I thought it was hilarious. Later that day I sketched a cartoon looking goose with a long neck. I took a pencil and drew a zig-zag line down it's neck. I thought it would be cool to make a bank that would "Eat" money. I made the first bank for one of my daughters birthdays. Watching and listening to the coins travel down the neck made me laugh. I thought that other people might like them so I made 500 Ducks and Dinosaurs and took them to a large craft show. I sold all 500 and took orders for 470 more! Encouraged by my success at Craft Shows, I obtained multiple patents, and went into business. That was 25 years ago! I believe that Big Belly Banks make the perfect gift. They are: Quality-Fun-Educational-Decorative-a Keepsake, and Personalized for FREE. Every Big Belly®
