On the streets of Bombay, vendors offer to sell you “time pass.” Time-pass, as it happens, is a paper cone of roasted and salted peanuts. But you don’t buy peanuts. You don’t even buy a snack.

The customer created by the innovation (peanuts in paper cones made available at certain locations) is the pattern of modification of waiting and relaxation behaviors . You used to stroll. Now you stroll munching peanuts. You used to fret, looking at your watch, cursing railway delays. Now you peacefully munch peanuts instead.
