I pitched the idea of plastic flasks filled with a random type of liquor. $20 and you get some kind of vodka. It could be Orlav but it could be something fancy and expensive. I was thinking each flask would come plastic wrapped and have a little "HERES WHAT YOU GOT!" card inside. I would absolutely buy one

I swear I've seen something like this but I can't quite put my finger on where...

one of the beer stores around me has mystery 6 packs which i think are just the leftovers from when someone makes a mix pack

i never get them tho because they're not cheaper than a regular 6 pack

Just put dirt cheap vodka in all of them and see how long it takes for anyone to notice. Gotta think like a real Captain of Industry here.

You say this like lottery isn't exploitative. Tons of poor people giving away a massive amount of money in exchange for a tiny chance to win a small fraction of it.

It is very exploitative and lovely, all I was saying is that it isn't anything new.

But yeah the lottery and other such schemes function as yet another mechanism to take lots of people's money and turn it into just a few people's money.

It's even worse than that because presumably the tax money would go to gov't spending, but with a lottery you have to take some % and give it to a winner.

You need some new clothes? All of our clothes match so just turn that gachapon crank.

it wouldn't even be that bad if the lotto strictly went into giving a ton of money of winners, the real scam of the lottery is how much money lotto commissioners make and just how much gets funneled into the contractors they use. 6 figures in almost all 50 states, with a few going over 300k in base salary with nearly half a million on the table for bonuses too -And in all states it's not an elected position, but instead a governor's appointment.

Our state lottery had a bribery scandal before the bill even got voted on.

Then the bill got rammed through by voting when one of the legislators was in surgery to reach a majority.

The same bad dems then went on to close the state's biggest mental hospital.

Things like Loot Crate have demonstrated that there are vast swathes of adults out there with all the taste and discernment of children and will happily pay over the odds for cheap tat with their favourite brand on it, so as well getting the shittiest vodka possible, be sure to slap some superhero stickers on there, then make them removable and supply a booklet to put them all in so you can collect them all.

Or just package the vodka with Magic The Gathering cards or miniature Funko Pops or something, whatever will get a bunch of dipshits to buy them for the cash equivalent of $20 per shot.
