Snot Spot's History
Snot Spot® was originally envisioned in the mid 1990s by Monica Martin, Susan Miskovsky, and Greg Queen in Vail, Colorado. At that time, the team determined that the idea needed time to develop until a strong design could be produced at a price that the market would bear. The idea was tucked away, but the dream lived on...In the winter of 2004, Monica then designed a new prototype for affordable mass manufacturing, and the Snot Spot was born (with co-inventors Susan and Greg as silent partners). At the same time, she founded When I Grow Up, Inc. with the ambitious goal of donating $1 million to charity by 2015.
Monica’s role model for this business is Newman’s Own, the famous food product company owned and operated by Paul Newman. Like Mr. Newman, Monica hopes to do her small part to make the world a better place by donating a portion of the profits from Snot Spot and other products soon to be released by When I Grow Up to worthy causes.
