Why My Assistant Quit

Let me tell you how bad we are at business. We were gonna do this, um, actually Jimmy just did it, MrBeast. We're gonna do this golden ticket idea. Yeah, uh, where with chocolate bars and you open it. I mean, it's, it's a Willy Wonka idea, right? I'm sure a lot of people have thought about doing it, um, but we're gonna do it about 3, 4 years ago and we went into a meeting with Fucking candy factory. And they looked at us during the meeting and they go, it's just going to be tough because chocolate will melt by the time it gets to people's homes. And I was so confused by what they said. I was like, and I text my manager after we left the meeting and I was like, can you just like text them again? Because like, I've been to the store and I felt a Hershey's. It's not all gooey when it's there. But like, that was enough to direct— that was enough to derail us. Yeah, like, that was enough for us to go, fuck, I mean, it's going to melt. I mean, we do want to launch in the summertime, so like, there is a possibility this shit will come out like soup. So like, it's little things like that where we were just like, fuck it. Like, we're just so bad at business.
