People will buy anything, no matter how dumb. Pet rocks and singing fish sold out of the store and while no one will admit to owning one, someone has to be buying it.
Check out a bunch of dumb ideas that made a lot of money.
This was a simple, million dollar idea. Pick up a rock, throw it in a box with some hay and sell for $4.99. Who knew millions of people would prefer to buy a rock to collect dust in their junk drawers over going out and finding one of their own.
WalMart couldn’t keep Billy the Big Mouth Bass on the shelves as folks everywhere bought singing fish to adorn their trailers. I don’t know what would posses someone to make a singing fish…or maybe it was the fish that was possessed.
It was bad enough every business gave this away as convention swag at one time, but people were actually buying these.
So they were supposed to change color according to mood except no one could seem to get theirs off blue. Oh and did I mention they were ugly?
When my kid is old enough I’m sure he’ll have enough reasons to hate me what with making him clean his room and go to school and all. If I put him in one of these and he saw the pictures, it would no doubt seal the deal.

Wanna buy a piece of this blog? It’s only a dollar? Sounds like a silly idea but the owner of the Million Dollar Home Page sold pixels on his website for $1 per pixel - and he sold over a million of them.
