I don't know about you, but I know I've asked myself the question "Who is the smartest person who has ever lived?" At first glance this may seem like an impossible question to answer....and even if it was possible...it would take years of serious thinking and research. Well, luckily for you all, I have discovered the answer. Now I just KNOW your minds are racing...wondering who on earth it could be and how I could have so easily solved such a complex question. The answer isn't Socrates...it isn't Einstein...and it most certainly isn't the Michelin Man. The problem is...I'm not sure of this person's name...or even this person's gender....but rest assured...this is the smartest person who has ever lived. So here we go...this man/woman is none other than the person who decided to sell the population bottled water. Now before you bash my theory with uneducated insults..at least hear me out first.

Water has always been a resource available to most people in civilized society. In fact, most homeowners pay a "water bill." You can walk into many homes and find actual running water. It comes right out of the faucet like some sort of magic. Now I know some of you are saying..."What about the people who aren't fortunate enough to have running water?" This is a good question..however...the point I am trying to make doesn't apply to these people for the simple reason that they are not the ones dumb enough to purchase the said bottled water. So back to what I was saying....here we all are, living in our houses...enjoying tapwater for a minimal fee...when someone comes along and says "Hey, I can take water...the same water people get from their taps...run it through a cheap filter....put it in a bottle and inflate the fuck out of the price...and I bet people will pay for it." And guess what folks...he/she was completely correct. Therein lies this person's genius. People will go out of their way to purchase water that comes in a bottle...and they will not hesitate to pay an arm and a leg for it. The true brilliance of this scheme is that we could easily buy a simple tap filter and enjoy the same great tasting water that we seem to love paying several bucks a bottle for...I mean damn...let's just sit back and think about this for a second. People are actually paying for a bottle (some plastic and paper covering) that is filled up with water...fucking WATER! Just go outside the next time it rains and open your mouth. So what if its full of pollutants and God knows what other toxins...you can use the money you saved to buy good medical care. Or I don't know...here's a crazy idea...go out and splurge on a Brita Jug. Don't tell me that having bottled water is more convenient. Just put some damn water in a thermos if you crave it so much that you cannot wait to get home before you need to drink it.

You know what...I think the idiocy of the general public has inspired me to come up with a money making scheme of my own. Here it is....I'm going to sell EMPTY plastic bottles. Now here comes the brilliance...these empty bottles will be labeled "Water...Just Add Water" I can see it now...they will sell like hotcakes. Who wants in? I'll split the profits accordingly.

haha, you're ridiculous.

...

A belated welcome to NuTang
You are clearly a true entrepreneur. You can market the same product as Bottled Air, as well, and be the 1st mover into a huge untapped market.
