How do you market a grilled cheese sandwich??

[Deja Q]

Manufacturing is a joke industry. Selling igloos to Eskimos (conning people to buy what they can already do for themselves), that's where the real money's at.

1. I always die a little inside when...

...I walk along the freezer aisle in the grocery store and see those TV dinners that are fried eggs and two pieces of toast. What kind of benighted life of slavery must some people live if they can't even spare the time to fry a couple of eggs and use a toaster? And what diabolical marketing genius discovered this market niche?

I can't even imagine what microwaved toast tastes like. Nor do I want to.

7. Actually - My brother is mentally ill and things like the microwavable eggs & toast help enable him

to live alone. He cannot use a real stove - only the microwave.

2. Pair it with Campbell's Tomato Soup in a winter commercial.

M-m-m-m-m good.

3. Cut the crust off, stuff it in a plastic wrapper, come up with a cutsey name, and sell

it to the parents of small children. Oh wait...you already have competition.

8. Close to my answer.

I was going to say "Go to a men's dorm at nearly any college on a Saturday night."

We're on the same track.

11. Reasonably so, though folks at G.D. shows raised grilled cheese to an art form.

The tour kids would all sell'em in the parking lots at $1 a piece for gas money, and with so much competition, you had to make an excellent grilled cheese, or you'd get passed over. Ironically, hippies taught a powerful lesson about the capitalist system. ;)

12. While I could have ironed a grilled cheese

in front of a college kid, charged three bucks and still made bank.

Actually, I sold pb&j once during finals. I made $150.
