Man who made thousands selling snow is now selling fall leaves.

[dixiegrrrrl]

After boxes of snow from Boston's brutal winter sold for $89 last winter, it seems pretty much anything can be sold on the internet for profit.

ShipSnowYo's Founder Kyle Waring proved this yet again with his latest venture: Shipfoliage.com.

The New England native launched his new Foliage-as-a-Service (FaaS) business last Tuesday and has already taken roughly 250 orders worth $19.99 each.

The company sells only one product, a 3-leaf foliage bundle, which includes "Grade A" hand-selected leaves from the wilderness of New England.

Despite making thousands shipping Boston's abundant snow last winter, Waring says this product's success is "definitely a surprise."

He has a good looking website. The leaves have a preservative, so they will last.

Interesting and creative income producer.

1. The best imo, was the inventor of the Pet Rock.

2. artisanally-curated leaves

OMG... I thought the "bundle" was a bag. Like, if you lived in Phoenix, you could dump them in your yard and rake them up or something.

Three damned leaves?

Cute packaging, but about as cute as every kindergarten art project for the next month.

Wow.

6. Yeah, I would buy some, but I spent all my fortune on a Chia pet.

3. If somebody wants leaves, they can pick them up for free in my yard

Take one, take 10,000. I don't mind.

4. Hmmm- I'm taking another look at those fire ants

crawling all over my yard - gotta be some money potential there. And if not, there is the kitty litter box with its gold mine of cat droppings. And what about that moldy stuff behind the fridge?

5. Lol

I once heard someone say that people would buy
used toilet paper if it had a pricetag on it.

7. P.T. Barnum was right.

And this lad certainly has a creative mind, gotta give him that.

8. P T Barnum would be proud of this guy.

Barnum is probably looking down with tears in his eyes
regretting how he missed the dawn of the Information Age.

9. I wonder if this would be considered illegal?

I think most states have laws against transporting wood and tree related stuff more than 50 miles. It spreads tree diseases and non-native insects to vulnerable areas.

11. I wonder about the "treated with a preservative" part
