I got one for you! This guy we know if you were to ask him how he made a living he would tell you gumballs!! Literally that's all you did! He had the biggest storage unit they rent and you'd walk in and it was piled with cardboard boxes everything from like one foot by one foot boxes up to the size of a case of beer. There were labels all over on the shelving saying green blue and even some specialty! Everyone of those boxes was filled with gumballs! That's all he does is buy and sell gum balls!! He made a damn good living off of it too it was surprising! I mean he didn't have a big Factory or anything like that it didn't even have a big Warehouse he just used that storage unit which was probably 20x25 or 30x30 and I guess if you think about it each Gumball is worth between 5 and $0.15 probably and how much room does that take up! It's a lot of money in that little amount of space! It's crazy to see the things that people end up doing for a living!
