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

    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.

    I once had a college student that wanted me to sign an NDA for his machine he designed… turned out it was a perpetual motion machine.

    Business students should be required to learn basic physics. I didn’t sign the NDA.

    A website dedicated to condiments, like if you want to find an obscure variety of ketchup. I got further with it than I’d like to admit

    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.

      If it helps you feel better, there were YouTubes before YouTube. Metacafe was one. Blanking on names of others. Long story short, it’s not about the idea it’s about the execution.

    I had a business idea of cell phone battery pack rentals. Like having a network of battery packs to rent, the problem is I doubt the demand is high enough.
