Gringles Potato Chips

No, no, it was Pringles Potato Chimps. They simply didn't go for that monkey business. In fact, they went Ape!

Punny

Yes, but the important question is that if they are shipped via airplane, and this airplane is on a conveyor, will the plane be able to ship the cans?

This seems like such an enticing deal, I just don't see how it could be completely legal?

They are already "bought." They don't want them, we are getting them at no cost, except the warehouse space they are taking up.

And, as terrible as I'd feel doing something like that, it would probably work.

Well, then, get cracking! Take 1.5 million (I just like saying that about anything) pins and bend them into the shape of a check mark, put one inside each can and call them "stimulus checks."

No true need to feel guilty selling stupid novelty stuff to willing adults. Assuage any embarrassment by giving a portion of your profits to charity.

Blog about it online and possibly get laid, PLUS amass one huge round of free publicity for your company.

Riding your 15 minutes of fame, make appearances on minor league TV talk shows and go all Tom Cruise on 'em just for the hell of it, if you want . . . or . . . seize those moments to make impassioned pleas for World Niceness or whatever else floats your boat.

Remember Sally Ann Biedermeyer, that harlot who broke your heart in high school when she left you for Billy Bob Pimplesquirt, the school's Team Air Hockey champ, cruelly telling you in the process that you'd never amount to anything?

Don't return her inevitable adulatory e-mails! Snub her seven ways to Sunday! Show her who's the Master of the Universe now! I hear that loser Billy gave her teh herp, anyway. Rub it in!

Carpe Diem, son. Your moment has arrived! :laugh:

Load them up in a USPS truck with your friend and drive them to Michigan.

Mythbusters proved that they would. The real question is, does .999... million cans equal 1 million cans?

 

[pontifex]

sell them on ebay

 

[aircooled]

Put $100 in one random can. Have a raffle for $1 per can. Make 1.5 million dollars (minus the hundred bucks).

If I were to do a raffle, I'd probably do 500K for the winner, 500K for charity/scholarships, and 500K for muah.

May have a buyer Sent sample off today.

You, sir, are a genius. A true genius.

 

[soulcougher73]

I dont really have any advice but if you can actually sell that that is a TON of money. Even at $1/each which they are probably worth more then that is $1.5mil. Lucky Bastard.

 

[0roo0roo]

i'm sure the labor costs of processing 1.5 mil cans destroys any potential gain

 

[Crono]

Let me borrow $300k when you get the money... so I can open up a computer store (as per the $300k invest thread).

Holy sh!t, you win the thread.

That aside, you can recycle them. If it is a tube, it probably isn't cardboard, it is probably a kraft paper tube. That means it is worth about $240 per ton for recycling at TL. Assuming each tube weighs 1oz (wild guess) you have 93750lbs, or 47 tons. That's about $11,000.

 

[Evadman]

And by the way, someone really fucked up if a company ran 1.5 million tubes without checking with the customer if they were ok.

 

[Turin39789]

donate them to the city, value them at 50 cents each and take the 750k tax writeoff

Ahhhh, but that's where having your very own volunteer militia comes into play.

1. Post your militia on the Mexican border.

2. Stop every Mexican now attempting to flee back across the border due to our economic implosion and make each process 10 cans before allowing them to proceed.*

3. . . .

4. Profit!












*The opportunity to brush up on your Spanish is just a bonus side benefit! A year or two from now, when you find yourself deep in Jalisco, nervously seeking employment as a landscaper (Oh, the . . .), your keen command of "por favor" y "gracias" will stand you in good stead. :laugh:
