Road Side
I get a kick out of the Mexican women who stand by the side of the road at intersections on very hot days. Sometimes selling fruit but more often then not they are selling bottles of water for $1. Now, I'm thinking that it cannot be that cost effective if they are selling it for that price because I can buy $1 bottles of water in any convenience store. Yesterday I was in the supermarket and noticed that there were 35-packs of bottles of water for only $7. Hell, that's an incredible profit margin if you are making $28 on every 35-pack of water you sell by the side of road. On a real hot day, I'd think you could sell as many bottles as your car could hold. You'd have to factor in the cost of ice but it can't be much. The best thing is that if they get too hot, there is plenty of water for them to drink. I'm in the wrong business.
