    1. First you start off making donuts or pretzels, and the next thing you know, there’s a fight between the Yakuza and the mafia in your front yard.

    2. 14 dozen per hour? It makes 14 at a time. You’ve gotta do that twelve times to get 168 donuts. And that’s a batch every five minutes. Not counting any other prep work. I do like the ad just telling you that you can sell them anywhere. I guess donuts were a rare delicacy in 1972. I grew up in walking distance from a donut shop and bought day-old bags of donuts for a dollar. Good way to stay a chubby child.
      As a fan of waffle irons and Panini presses, I really do like the idea of having fresh, hot donuts at my disposal.

      I saw an ad convincing me that I could make $2k a month a few hours a week by growing mushrooms. They never specified wether they were the edible kind or the “fun” kind but c’mon man, even selling drugs isn’t that easy

      I still remember the trade school & home course TV commercials in the 1990s often had TV & VCR Repair. I wonder who blew money on those and tried to start careers.
