Me and my friend are thinking about starting a little money making adventure. We thought about gettin like a 24 pack of Mt. Dew for like 4 bucks and taking it to school and selling them for 50 cents a pop during lunch. All our school has is gatoraid and stuff like that and like one coke machine that doesn't work most of the time so we should be able to make some money at it. Any thoughts? Any one done anything like this before? Any tips? Discuss>

Sounds good, but I have a feeling that some faculty member is going to put an end to this little "business endeavor."

It can't be done, my friend tried it with giant pixie sticks....I do admit they we're quite noticable though

I dislike mimes, does it show?

My friend sold candy bars out of a shoebox last year. He could sell 100 bars a day, for a dollar a pop. Even though they were really only valued at like 50 cents because he bought them in bulk.

You could try that.

you spelt genius wrong......

It could work, but you really have to keep it on the DL.  I agree with Benjichang, if a staff member finds out, say goodbye to your scheme.  You could just not let many people know its actually you, just like 6 people or something, and then people buy the stuff through them.....

If you really suck, dont even try

lol,this would be so cool if you could set up an entire under ground selling market at your school without the staff finding out about it. I'd love to do something like that, except I'm already graduated. lol. All well, good luck.

Heh. When my class held school dances, a buddy of mine and I would go buy a bunch of those 5 stick packs of gum for 25 cents, then break the packs open and sell each individual stick for 25 cents.

thats 100% profit.

And the morons bought it every time.

I kinda do the same thing at my school. In my area of California (Irvine) there are alot of asians and Ive found this Japanese candy called Hi Chew that everybody loves (asian starburst) and i sell it at my school. I buy it for .69$ at an Asian Market and then sell them for 2.0$ a pack..good money. Glad your doing it too!

My cousin and I were thinking of doing the same thing except outside, on a hot day, and with these $0.50 2-liters from Dollar General so we can make a huge profit. Sell them for like a quarter a cup.

A kid made about 300-400 bucks a month selling candy at my school... when the faculty found out he got suspended for 30 days.


Don't even try, seriously.


P.S. why only mountain dew?
