Fake It, Make It

Fake It, Make It (often shortened down to FIMI), was an American comedy game show where contestants come up with a fake product and then try and create it to win cash prizes. The game show was hosted by Adam Dudzik from seasons 1-6 (syndicated) and by Jai Scott Wormald from seasons 7-15 (Prime Time on LifeNetwork). The original syndicated version aired from September 30, 1998, to October 12, 2003, and the Prime Time version aired from January 10, 2004, to December 31, 2012.

Main Game
The main game consisted of 3 contestants (changed to 4 in 2010) who invent their own fake products. They then have to invent that product using
 * Material needed for packaging (plastic, paper, etc.)
 * Liquid needed for soft drinks, soap, hand sanitizer, etc.
 * Ingredients needed for food (cookies, chocolate, etc.)

If the product actually works, they are given cash prizes. If the product doesn't work, they are eliminated and go home with the money they earn in the previous round. The money goes up each round, as seen below. The prizes changed every few years.
 * Batteries needed for electronic products.
