a jar with a label indicating it contained a piece of John Wayne Gacy’s brain

I'll sell the author a shoebox labeled "hope diamond" for $25k....

Seriously, nobody told me I could make bank on misrepresented pig brains.

Here's another thing you probably don't know. You can go take a bath, and then at the end of the bath don't drain the water. Instead, put the water into about 5000 small glass jars. Now set up an AI thing where you can create a consistent supply of pictures of the same AI model. Dress her like a stereotypical incel's idea of what a gamer girl looks like. Now sell the 5000 jars for $100 each as "Gamer Girl bath water". Except find a new name, because (and I'm not making this up), that name for that product is already trademarked and made 1 woman named Belle Delphine into a millionaire doing basically nothing.
