But setting legalities aside…I wonder how practical it would be to do something like this and get better output than these guys flying the things did?

Ghost kitchens can be rented for not very much in terms of expense. using a ghost kitchen rental, you can bake them the night before and sell them in the morning. Some of the spaces I’m looking at, it’s about 150/month (USD) for a furnished kitchen. you can then drive them out that morning to outlets (Grocery stores, gas stations, farmers markets?).

alternatively, its about 2k for a low end comercial convection oven, about 6k for a conveyer/impinger oven (which would offer higher through-put on the cookies and bake-on-demand.) a comercial mixer goes for abotu 1k, and then there’s the truck… which not gonna guess at.

the airfare, if that’s what they were doing is 150 for the cheapest ticket, which would stack up. from what I can tell, general shipping starts at around that much as well. Meaning that it would stack up quickly. So for a one time thing where you were scalping somebody else’s product? sure, it might make some sense. but you’re going to lose business fast since nobody is going to willingly pay 20 bucks for stale cookies, especially if they taste like the inside of someone’s luggage. (Though, I suspect they were shipped as airfreight, which is why it took 5 days to get out there. Not sure which would be worse. Tasting like someone’s luggage, or tasting like an amazon box.)

Personally, if I’m spending that much on a cookie, it had better be made fresh and come warm and gooey. Just saying.

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.

  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
