When you find it let me know cos I'd like a few hundred thousand or so to develop ice cube shaped eggs for ease of storage.

Why people think Sugar is some sort of genius entrepeneur amazes me when in fact he's just a lucky chancer with a tallent as a salesman who rose from being a London barrow boy to multi-millionaire through being a ruthless bully. He's not that smart. He had the opportunity to be the dominant player in the pc world but turned it down because he didn't think there was any money to be made in in software. Gates on the otherhand knew better. He could have backed Gates but decided to stick with making cheap poor quality hardware. What a missed opportunity that was. Since then Amstrads machinations have hardly been stelar.
Everyone associates Sugar with Amstrad and the Apprentice TV show which pitches Sugar as some sort of lovable Del boy no nonsense technology entrepeneur but in fact he made most of his fortune from property dealing in Mayfair not technology. Many of his much vaunted business activities initially struck lucky but have since faultered and never managed to sustain their early promise. Most have turned into problem children rather than cash cows to use the palance of businessmen who really understand real market development. The fact he was recruited as some sort of business advisor / guru was an ill judged attempt by Brown's government to milk his popular image to prop up their own failing public image leading up to the last election.
Sugar is just good box office and has hardly had one incisive thing to say about business and innovation beyond his usual barrow boy bravado. If you took any innovative idea to Sugar without his two flanking stooges to advise him he'd be unable to evaluate any business opportunity beyond the most basic level.
Having been professionally involved for many years in technology innovation and venture capital I can tell you that the popular image portrayed by TV programmes like The Apprentice and Dragons Den bare as much resemblance to real business as "Gardeners World" does to real allotment gardening or "Strictly Come Dancing" to real ballroom dancing tuition or "I'm a Celebrity get Me Out of Here" does to actual jungle survival.
It's Television as my wfe never ceases to remind me!
