Boston Man Sells Snow for $15 per Pound

Proof that people will buy anything, a Massachusetts man is marketing snow online. The east coast has seen a lot of snow this winter. Meanwhile in Montana, people are already golfing. There is definitely no lack of snow in Boston. So, one man decide to capitalize on it. He launched his own website, promising snow shipped to your home.

According to UPI

Kyle Waring, proprietor of ShipSnowYo.com, said he came up with the idea of putting the snow into water bottles and shipping it across the country while shoveling with his wife at their Manchester-by-the-Sea home.

Waring said a 16.9 ounce bottle of snow costs $19.99 to ship almost anywhere in the United States -- the website states snow will not be shipped to the northeast because "we're in the business of expunging snow" -- but there are no guarantees that the snow will not be mere water by the time it arrives. A more expensive package, running $89, features 6 pounds of snow being shipped in a Styrofoam container that the company guarantees will keep the product in snow form.

He says that mostly business owners are buying the $89 package, possibly as gag gifts for employees. While regular consumers are buying the $20 bottle for themselves. To think that snow is a hot commodity and this is the one winter when Montana is lacking in the snow department.
