$ICU When I was growing up there was a company in my town that sold “reverse banana splits”. They made so much money.
It worked like this: you go to the grocery store and buy bananas, ice cream, fudge, nuts, strawberries, and cherries. Then you take it home and put it all together. After that you call the company and they would send someone over to eat it. They would always make such a mess and leave you to clean up. All you’re left with is a bag full of garbage. Many of their customers would even hold onto the garbage bags as souvenirs.
I’ve always wondered why people would pay for this. Then I got older learned about investing in penny stocks. It makes a lot of sense now.
