The classic was Beanie Babies. Someone added up the cost of the materials --- what? 39 cents? --- and left out all the manufacturing and distribution costs, and profit.

Smoking is time and labor consuming.

Then came high school. Kept me busy.

Restaurants are failure-prone. I wonder how many people know someone whose restaurant venture failed. Especially now.
