13 Year Old Sells Manly Scented Candles [Video]
This kid is going to be richer than all of us, man.
--Last fall, 13-year-old Hart Main of Marysville, Ohio saw his sister selling candles for school. And he was making fun of her, like 13-year-old boys do, because all the candles had ultra-feminine scents like lavender and flowers.
--So he thought of a business idea: What if he made candles that had MANLY scents. So he started a company called Man Cans and started making them. And they started selling.
--His candles have scents like pizza, saw dust, fresh cut grass, leather baseball mitt, bacon, flapjacks, and campfire.
--In the past few months, he's sold about 500 candles at $5 each . . . they only cost him $2.50 to make. He hasn't gotten rich yet . . . but he says he was able to buy himself a sweet new bike.
--Now that he's starting to get national attention, his website is having trouble keeping up, but when it's working, you can order at Man-Cans.com.
(--'Man-Cans' . . . I'm just shocked no one bought that domain name before, to make a site devoted to the art of the man boob.)
(--Here's a video featuring Hart and his Man Cans.)
