Michigan Taken to School by Massachusetts – Man Sells Snow Online

The headline you just read is true. A man in the Boston area is selling snow online. And people are buying it. At first he put "historic Boston snow" in plastic bottles and sold them for $19.99. Of course the snow melted along the way, but 112 people paid their hard earned money for....snow in a bottle. Then, he put six pounds of snow in the same packaging they use for Omaha Steaks. And people bought that for $89 per package. He sold out in 24 hours. (Are you screaming, yet?)

Now, according to Boston.com, Kyle Waring will send you a TEN pound package of snow in an insulated package for $119. That's a lot of snowballs for your friends in Florida.

And you and I just sit here looking at our snow - cursing at it, instead of getting rich on it. I know our snow isn't "historic Boston snow". But your buyer won't know. And I won't tell if you don't.

Let's get out those shovels and start getting rich. Here's the story.
