Packaging my gobstoppers

food packaging companyStarting your own business is not easy. I came up with a delicious idea for a breakfast cereal bar, which became so popular that I’m now trying to manufacture it and distribute it on a huge scale. I need to source a food packaging company because we can no longer simply shove them into paper bags. They need to be correctly stored and ideally, properly advertised and marketed. I’m going to have to set up a marketing department in my homegrown business. It’s all growing too quickly and getting to my head.

The first time I hit it big in the business industry was when I developed some everlasting gobstoppers that actually lasted for 96 hours. Nobody could suck on them long enough to discover if they were truly everlasting or not. I got them packaged and distributed them across the city to huge success. However, they became a massive choking hazard and ended up being causing a number of deaths. We ended up having to fork out for the police bags to carry the evidence which consisted of a series of unsold and undelivered gobstoppers which we could no longer sell to the public. It was a crying shame.

So I went out of business but this one’s looking way more hopeful. I was careful not to sell anything that could potentially dangerous although it is hard to foresee these things. Who knows what lethal surprises my new breakfast cereal bar holds. I mean, it contains whole apples for their highly nutritious content but then I’ve also heard that apple seeds are toxic in large quantities. What if somewhere along the baking process the crushed apples weren’t equally distributed and we ended up with too many apple seeds in one of the breakfast bars?! Will these breakfast bars survive consumer regulations? Only time will tell… I don’t know if I could ever forgive myself, unless I made an insane amount of money. I’d better get started on those food packaging designs.
