Copyright and REGISTER one of your best ideas. Then take it to all the right connections. Eventually a business will pick up on it and say "Hey kid, that's a great idea. I'll buy the rights to it for {insert money amount here}" and then you'll be all like
OHMIGAWD! Thanks Hoodoo Brown!
Or you could start selling the stuff yourself, but of course that takes longer and more work.

a) If you don't mind losing the millions when someone swoops in and takes the idea - go for it. You might want to consider putting a sample in an envelope. Put the stamp so the PO has to cancel the seal, and mail it to yourself. Don't open it. It is proof you at least had the idea.
b) W/ chains, the local manager has far less control over what gets on the shelf. Start off with some of the independents or hit the bazaar route and build up your product(s) name there.
c) There are some good books and at least one magazine on inventing. You can find more great advice like this in them.
Remember me when you reach your first million.

no they did go through all that red tape,first step contact the patent office (google it) i have a friend that is and inventor and if you want to sell it without your idea being stolen,you have to go through the process,you would be amazed at all of the inventions out there that are credited to the person who got the patent,not the inventor
