The nurses are now kinda surprised...cuz I've got it blasting from the "Doc Box."

OP: You should TOTALLY sell the candies to diabetics. They can't help themselves and y'all know that those rich doctors never saw a dollar (or Euro) that they didn't like..... ;)When all the patients show up in diabetic ketoacidosis. PROFIT.

Andrew's idea is even better than mine.

If this is true (which it's not) then do what he said and you will turn misery into fortune.

The coaching was a joke guys.

Brand it as a sports candy and set up booths at your local marathon for $6 a pack.

In all seriousness, assuming this isn't just trolling, what I'd do is contact the soccer star and offer him 40% of the profits if he will endorse the candy and appear on a landing page or at a sales event.

You don't have to sell the candy in 3 months to make money

Buy a swimming pool + fill with candy

Videotape yourself swimming through candy + Post on Youtube


This is the most out of the box thinking clever idea, sell as much as you can and once it's expired do this.

You could even kickstarter it or just have an event and sell tickets, "Swim in a pool full of candy"

Or make a youtube series where you just prank people by filling things with candy, someones car, someones cupboard, bath, pool, room, you can reuse the candy for every video

Get Redbull to release an energy candy then fill a pit with it and have them flip a motorbike into it, or just get one of those TV shows to do it as a stunt.

Rent out the candy for things like that or parties

I'm getting carried away now, goodluck. Oh and...

You can sell it outside of the soccer stadiums.

You could also offer a BIG price if someone finds some kind of token in a baggie that you could make with a few candies. Just like in that chocolate factory movie.

Out of curiosity, what would you be happy with in terms of profit?

Build and design an engine that runs entirely on sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Place the engine in an innovative and sleek metal body with well-integrated technology. Sell the car as eco-friendly and make millions. Now you have 600k worth of fuel for your "green" car.

Find a brand looking for celebrity endorsement.

Drop the bombshell - there are sport stars out there that will happily take candy rather than cash and you can save them 50% of their endorsement costs.

They give you $300k cash, you pay another soccer player in candy and everyone is happy.

Maybe this is a question you don't want to answer, but to me, it's the most interesting:

how on earth does one end up with 600.000 dollars in unsold candies?

Unless I missed something, we don't know what the K actually stands for. It could be:
  • 600K dollars or euros
  • 600K Zimbabwean Dollars
  • 600 Kilos
  • 600 Kilobytes (kilo-bites?)
  • 600 Kilo-milli-ounces
  • 600K (as in 600 units of potassium, bolstering the idea this stuff is healthy)
  • 600K (level-600 Kosher)

Seems to me that if this weren't a troll, and you wanted to sell these for real, you'd sit down and call every store in the country and try to get them to buy a sample order of 200-300 packages (assuming there are 600k packages), if the package sells for $4, you ask for $2. Get 2,000-3,000 orders and they're all gone and you've grossed $1.2 million.

Hell, for $10k I'll buy them from you and do that.

Hey OP.

How about you call Jay-Z & Beyonce's booking agency and see if they take Dietorelle candy as payment.
