In the ‘When life gives you lemons department’, and/or ‘People don’t know what to do with their money’ department, A Massachusetts man has one-upped the inventors of the ‘pet rock’ when he found a way to profit from the abundance of snow in his yard. He’s shipping six pounds at a time to people in warmer climates for $89. Some of the snow actually makes it to the buyer intact.

It rivals the ‘bacon scarf’ and the ‘Wine rack flask bra’ as a novelty gift. In the ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ category, it sits alone as a gift that could only keep on giving if it were immediately placed in your freezer and never taken out. This makes the joy of showing off your purchase a little more difficult.

Kyle Waring, of Manchester-by-the-Sea, got the idea while shoveling snow earlier this winter and launched http://www.shipsnowyo.com

At first he shipped 16.9-ounce snow-filled bottles for $19.99, but by the time it arrived at its destination, the snow melted and became an extremely expensive bottle of water. Instead of calling it ‘Instant Snow’ just add freezing water’, he started selling six pounds at a time. He tells The Boston Globe that even if the snow melts a little by the time it arrives, the package can still make 10 to 15 snowballs, which averages $8 to $10 a snowball, or a really quick snow ball fight.

He’s also started offering 10-pound packages for $119.or you could arrive at his house and have all the snow you want for free, just take it with you.

He says he’s hoping for a long snowy winter and he’ll keep selling until stupid people stop ordering.
