Money Making Idea’s
Got a wacky business idea? Too chicken to go through with it? Then grow some balls, because
you could easily be rollin’ in the cash. We’re all creative here at mADE but to be a genius sometimes you’ve got to let loose and go a little bit crazy, take a look at these weird but wonderful
money making businesses.
RENT - A - CHICKEN?
Now I know this idea sounds Cuckoo, but the fact is it’s a fluffy little earner as Leslie Suitor from Michigan found out. Think of it like
trying on a dress before you buy it. Potential farmers take note.
This how it goes: If you fancy nurturing some cocks but are a bit
unsure if you’ll like it or not then you can call up Leslie and rent a
few. The perfect solution. For $250 you can rent two chickens for
the summer. Included in this price is: a 4x8 coop with an attached
run that can be moved around, food, a feeder, roost and a
nesting box. After you’ve tried it out then you give it all back in
the autumn. Pretty cool, eh? So potential farmers here’s an idea,
why stop chickens?
HANGOVER - HELPERS
Suffering from dry mouth syndrome and a banging headache in
the morning can be a bitch, but at least you had a pretty good
party last night. But one thing is for sure, there is no way you feel
like tidying up your shithole of a house. No problem, the ‘Hangover-helpers’ are here to rescue you.
‘Hangover-helpers’ turn up at your door and give every roommate a bottle of Gatorade. They then cook you each a breakfast
burrito to soak up all that alcohol. If your morning couldn’t get
any better they then, clean up your rubbish, vacuum your house
and scrub the floors until every trace of alcohol is gone. All this
while you laze around in your bed. Of course there is a charge of
$15 per roommate. Sadly, the two students that run this business
live in the US. If I’m not mistaken Breda do not seem to have this
service, so a hint to any entrepreneurs; the students of Breda
need you.
JD’S “BECAUSE EVERYTHING SHOULD TASTE
LIKE BACON”
Whether you like it hard and crispy or tender and springy, bacon
is desired by us all. Justin and Dave recognised this and launched
their business ‘JD’s‘ with bacon salt, so bacon can be sprinkled
onto anything, pure genius if you ask me. The product was so
successful in the US that they expanded their product range dramatically, take a look...
Baconaise - speaks for itself, popcorn and ranch sauce. But it
doesn’t stop there, JD also has a ‘let’s get weird’ product range
which includes bacon shaving cream, sizzling bacon lip balm and
bacon coffins, I’m not joking, ‘bacon ‘til we die’. Probably the
weirdest item they sell is bacon lube, too far? You can buy their
products online, in the US or UK. Who knew bacon could make
you globally successful?
