I didn't get a good look but I wish Dan Murphy's sold chips. Need to make a 2nd trip after work for them.

What about this for an idea? Drive through bottle-o, you can get booze, snacks and your petrol tank filled without leaving your car.

If someone wants to make this happen, I'll cheer you on.

I think there also needs to be a parcel pickup/dropoff hub. Plus there needs to be an option to either drive through, or to drop the car for a wash - you could have a cafe and small store, then by the time you're finished the car is clean, refuelled and filled with your purchases and deliveries.

It's called a post office.

These also exist.

But they all need to be combined in one place.

And not at inflated prices either, I'd be so all over that!

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

All competitive prices of course.

I once had a business idea where you could order a package containing one or two squares of special brownie plus a bunch of normal baked goods to sate the munchies after.

I do not partake or break the law. I just think that having an entire pan of special brownies sitting there after eating the first is playing a dangerous game.

A talented baker could make good money with a side hustle like that

👀 That could be a game 3 "special" brownies and 3 placebos.

I actually had this idea for YL's birthday. When I was making drinks I was gonna make one a donkey but I decided not to.

I thought more of a safety measure
