Wall Street bro bought popcorn company for $250K in 2011. Just sold it to Hershey for $750M.

Don't tell me you don't admire (and envy) that guy. That's a big risk and gigantic payoff, with a lot of hard work and probably some shady shit - article mentions one popcorn product had "concerning amounts of lead"... wtf.

If retards are willing to pay $5 for a bag of popcorn they could have made themselves for less than $0.25, might as well go for it. LOL all it takes is just tossing kernels with a little oil then popping them in the microwave or on a stovetop. Or just buy a popcorn popper for like $15.

Funny to imagine that there might be goats here who are worth $10+ million. Maybe Icemonkey should sell his business and invest in Upgoat instead.

I did read this:
"Coristine had no experience in the food industry....."
"I didn't know anyone in food.. to ask wether I was crazy or not..."
"The risk was impulsive and ill-researched....was losing money and bringing in less than $1 million"
