UNITED STATES - Know someone who loves spicy but sweet flavors? Looking for a last-minute gift for the holidays? Have a special someone in your life that you want to torture using one of the world’s greatest foods with one of its most nefarious?
Enter Pepper Bomb Your Mom, the start-up that dips and ships chocolate-covered Carolina Reapers to unsuspecting victims–greeting card optional.
“You ever come across an idea that’s ridiculously stupid yet worth? This is it–buying a few Christmas “gifts” now,” one anonymous user replied in the service’s testimonials.
The business comes from teenagers, Lizzy Wurst and Sabrina Nicole, who rose to YouTube fame when they ate Carolina Reapers for viewers and calamity ensued.
Now the two seem to have reconciled with the pepper, creating what could be a promising venture in entrepreneurship that has taken the internet by storm.
Selling at $24.99 a shipment, news source The Inquisitr reports that the startup generated about $1,200 in sales in 24 hours. With 174 sold so far, according to the website, that brings sales thus far to a total of over $4,300.
The website is as satirical as the gift, touting polls like:
- Chance you’ll piss someone off? 92 percent
- Chance you’ll feel good about it? 96 percent
- Chance they’ll get over it? 51 percent
Truly a package for any “frenemy” or family member you truly love, but may not always like. Happily, the sender can remain anonymous.
And if you should choose to take this product for a spin around December 25, the good news is you could very well make the gifted person’s–or, as the Pepper Bomb Your Mom site calls the, victim’s–New Year’s resolution list, for better or worse!
Should you choose to do so, please let the ANUK team know about it. We always love to see our stories come to life!
