It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.


Starting about now, the malls across America start ramping up their "temporary lease space" which is another name for random ass kiosks. It is a ritual I liken to the lighting of the Rockefeller Christmas Tree, taking a leisurely stroll through the mall and seeing what gift says, "Your friendship/business partnership/wedding vows/ mean so much to me, I put a whole 45 seconds in to deciding what to give you." better than all the others. This one is a great contender. There is an off chance that someone might wear a pair of slippers that look like cartoon sneakers, or try the "racquetball attached to an elastic band yo-yo" at least once. But not even in my wildest dreams can I imagine this making it to display. The really depressing part is that this one cart will probably clear $80,000 in the next three months. For anyone who thinks they have a good business idea, let me save you some time: If it is not as or more useless than what you see here, your business is going to fail. Don't over think anything. Just make sure it's shiny enough to mildly distract someone for a few minutes and that it doesn't cost more that you can count on two hands. It's easier to make change.
