Here is a list of the things that Dr. Nobel Price had invented, much to his dismay being informed by Kermit that his inventions already exists. For any "invention names" I can't remember or if I left out any, your help would be greatly appreciated!

Microphone - Talky Stick (reported by Warren Wolf)
Piano - Tinkly Table
Socks - Foot Shnoogies
Galoshes - ?
Rabbit - Punga-Punga (obviously a discovery rather than an invention)
Lunchbox - ? (from the SS Arbor Area)
Telephone - Ringy Dingy Thingy (from Big Bird's Place)
Pig - Beady-Eyed Oinky-Oink (Oscar's pet pig, Spot)

Kermit: "I hope you're not too disappointed Dr. Price."

Dr. Price: "Disappointed? (voice breaking) I, Dr. Nobel Price, disappointed?" (breaks down and sobs)

The galoshes were called "slushabouts".

According to the 40th anniversary book, he called a bookmark a page-rememberer, a basketball a hoopy toss, and a map a handy-dandy-you-are-herezit.

I remember in one issue of SS Magazine, Dr. Price re-invented a pillow and called it a 'dream machine.' I couldn't help but wonder how he slept if he didn't know what a pillow was.
