Wacky foods - real moneymakers
There is always a market for innovation and there is an even bigger market for humor. What happens when you combine the two with the fact that people love to try new things to eat? You could have a solid business proposition. And that is no joke.
CNBC’s Funny Business listed two “gifts” which were innovative - in that, they can tickle the taste buds and the jugular. But their creators are serious about the product offering.
Exhausted by the holiday? “Coffee is so 2009”, says the promotion for “Perky Jerky” — energy boosting beef jerky. The company claims the product was the result of an accident during a boozy ski trip when an energy drink spilled into an open bag of peppered beef jerky. The website is apparently marketing tired professionals, as its banner blares, “GET YOUR BOSS TO PAY FOR IT”.
Jacked up jerky may be the best food idea yet.
Or maybe this is.

“Pizza Donut is garlic bread pizza in the shape of a doughnut,” says Richard Davis, President and CEO of Kosher International, which is selling the product to street vendors, claiming these donuts actually lower cholesterol.
I’ll have to take his word on that. I mean, it’s a pizza…donut…
“We use bagel dough and bake it, not boiling like a bagel,” Davis says. He adds that vendors can sell the product for “about a buck, like a NYC Kosher Hot Dog.” The profit margin on that? Sixty-six percent! That’s a lot of dough.
