I once tried to start a taxi business for dogs. Apparently dogs don’t really need to be a lot of places. Who knew?!?

    I tried to start a dating service in a small town. No one knew. This was all pre internet. I rented a PO Box and ran an ad in the local newspaper. People joined for $2 month. I think I made $10 in 3 months

    Honestly I think your taxi business had potential to work OP. Did you undertake market research with dog breeders, kennels, associations for the blind etc, to learn what their specific problems and needs were?

    Oh so many… reflective paint inside of semi truck tires so when a tire blew out, other cars could see the scraps & try to avoid it 😬 it was a random on the spot idea as I mowed over a lost tire on the freeway.

    This is the thread I’ve been waiting for. I’d like to introduce you to “Milk Squeezies”. You know those little Mio water flavoring packs? Imagine having a flavor liquid to squeeze into your milk to make it taste like the milk left over at the bottom of your cereal bowl. It’s that, in varying cereal flavors.

    My friend and I came up with it when discussing the worst business ideas ever. Pretty sure coffee creamers now offer this…

    I had an idea the domain name was amplibytes.com ( I never secured it–so if you’re feeling adventurous it’s still available)–ANYWAY…The idea was that people bring their smart phones into amplibytes and they could hook them up to an amplifier and killer speakers and you rent out a room and you can throw custom parties with your own custom music. I figured you’d have to have a moderator person for each room and it would bring in too much riff raff so I ditched the idea. Apple killed the headphone jack in 2016 so I knew I was screwed then.

    Like WeWork, but you just go there to jerk off then you leave.

    YouTube before YouTube, but I couldn’t code and was concerned about copyright violations. Recall at the time the RIAA was suing people for millions for downloading a song. I was young at the time and took that at face value.
