Idea (Partially Stolen)

[captain_slinky]

Semi-inspired by the business model that freydis has come up with, I've got a mad/phat idea for Ebay.

I wanna sell "Care Packages from Home".

And what do you GET in your Care Package from Home?

• 1 Dozen home-baked cookies
• A letter from "Mom" telling you all about how things are going "back home"
• Three comic books
• A letter that "Mom" forced your younger sibling to write to you
• 3 to 5 pictures of your "Family" members notated on the back to let you know who they are.

I think it would be real fun to get one of these in the mail, maybe even have it delivered to your work place. Fun, but in a sad sort of way... not everybody gets care packages from home after all, so somebody should take up the slack and offer this valuable service!

I remember when I went to girl scout camp, which was a whole *2 weeks* away from home, my mom would send me care packages. She would send me popcorn, and cookies, and magazines..and everyone would be jealous, because my mom rulz.

That would be a good idea. Run with it!

Hmmmm... popcorn? Just plain old regular popcorn? Interesting... I could maybe do Popcorn *Balls*... Ooh! And Candy Bars! Forgot about the Snickers Bar that should come in every care package!

well, the popcorn served as package protection so the cookies wouldn't break.

You know, like the foam popcorn? my mom, in addition to ruling, is also effing brilliant.

And yes, Snickers for everyone!

Ahh, gotcha!

Still, now I want to make Popcorn Balls!

As well you should.

Because, really, no Care Package would be complete without Popcorn Balls.

Of course, you realize that I may incorporate this whole "care package" idea into our business..my package will be more upstanding, and won't include Juggs, or even comic books, but a nice assortment of cookies and candies would be a nice care package...
..oh, and I won't forget the popcorn balls..;)

It's all good... mine is more of a novelty item designed to give lonely people the same experiences as those who have no family to send care packages. Your care packages would actually be full of good eats, not fiction!
