JR

I see that they have Bamboo; maybe a "joint" venture?

I didn't make it that far

jrbaja - 5-3-2005 at 04:29 PM

but went back and looked. :lol:

Obviously, they have a good marketing agent :light:

but no, that is not my "connection".
Which kind did you order? :biggrin:

Bruce R Leech - 5-3-2005 at 04:33 PM

you can save 50 % if you order from me :bounce:

There's no stopping the entrepreneurial spirit! Even the frogs found out a couple dozen years ago that Americans are so stupid they'll pay good money for water in little bottles if advertising can make it look like a hip and sophisticated thing to do.

My favorite scam has always been;

LAST CHANCE TO SEND YOUR DOLLAR TO P.O. Box....!

BTW, ask Dave the difference between Kosher and non-Kosher salt. :rolleyes:

I didn't know there were so many...

I got pints of hydrogen oxide for sale at $19.99 ea. This wonderful substance is great for cooking, coolant, long-term heath fitness?hundreds of uses. I personally use it (two units) each time I hike in the desert?keeps me energized. Order now while supplies last.

Bruce R Leech - 5-4-2005 at 06:44 AM

I will sell hydrogen oxide at half price also :lol:

THE SECRET IS IN THE SALT

"Our salt is pure, kosher grade Baja sea salt that we import from the Baja Peninsula, Mexico. The salt is naturally harvested from sea salt fields developed with sun and wind. No artificial method is used to produce the salt crystals, and there is no damage what-so-ever to the beautiful ecosystem that is so precious to the Baja Peninsula. The process used to refine the salt is state-of-the-art, with assurance that impurities are removed to maintain the natural mineral content and benefits to the skin."

.....and I thought it was harvested by gargantuan trucks and developed by the Japanese.

....and no damage either:

But really, Bruce, someone in Mulege could do the same thing. Pack it in small bamboo stalks with a cutesy label - only sell it for $5.00. Tourists like to buy stuff and bring it home as gifts, etc. This would be a unique Baja product sold in Baja. Someone in Baja should take advantage of this opportunity.

hear that JR?

Sharksbaja - 5-4-2005 at 11:10 AM

G. Negro sea salt in bamboo salt shakers. Sounds pretty easy and Wilderone is right, tourists will buy almost anything that they think is cheap and unique.

Cincodemayo - 5-4-2005 at 11:15 AM

JR....
Use the square bamboo for the shakers....

Bruce R Leech - 5-4-2005 at 11:22 AM

who was it that wrote nothing goo ever comes from this forum. here we have probably the hottest idea sense the pet Rock. and all by nomads. :lol:

wilderone - 5-4-2005 at 01:11 PM

You have to promise me that after your first $200,000, you won't go out and buy a Loreto Bay authentic casa!

Pet Rock Salt

jrbaja - 5-4-2005 at 01:21 PM

pure genius! :lol:

elgatoloco - 5-4-2005 at 01:21 PM

When we visit Scammons we always stop at the roadside and pick up several big chunks of salt to use at home. The wifey tells me that we have just enough left to get us to next February!

Cincodemayo - 5-4-2005 at 01:30 PM

Wilderone..
It's more like $299,000 now. :lol:

Cincodemayo - 5-4-2005 at 01:36 PM

Pet rock salt encased in square bamboo for 19.99...but wait if you act in the next 5 minutes you get the second one for half price... 1-800-BJNOMAD

Since we do make

jrbaja - 5-4-2005 at 01:39 PM

salt and pepper shakers out of bamboo, I think I will take a broom and dust pan the next time we pass through the black warrior.

Black Warrior Pure (almost) Pet Rock Salt for the Body and Bath

Move on over Cinco, we may be neighbors :lol:

wilderone - 5-4-2005 at 01:51 PM

and don't forget margarita salt. Put a little whale on the product tag, and call it "sal ole". (I've been watching The Apprentice too long).

Dave - 5-4-2005 at 01:58 PM

UETA duty free sells tiny vials of "holy land" dirt for $20.00. They sell and sell and never seem to run out. Go figure.

How about Baja sand? I could bless it for you. :saint:

Not to worry Dave

jrbaja - 5-4-2005 at 02:13 PM

All the places I hang out have already been "blessed"! By me n the Ballenas that came with me :lol:

Recycled, I assume? Otherwise it would be alcohol abuse.

Me No - 5-4-2005 at 06:16 PM

This brilliant idea :light:

only needs one more element for it to be complete. The hang tag needs to say a portion of the proceeds will go to ballenas. Those P-nche gringo tourists won't know what ballenas JR is talking about. Oh, a portion could also go to tortugas in case someone is in the mood for tecate. :biggrin:

The really funny part. This thing would probably work. :yes:

roundtuit - 5-4-2005 at 06:29 PM

How about selling genuine salt water taking during full moon from THE BAY OF CONCEPION in small vails. Got htis idea from a woman putting some pacific water back to the mid west for her grand daughter :lol:

Bruce R Leech - 5-4-2005 at 08:25 PM

this is the best yet a couple more days of brainstorming and this will be perfected.

Packoderm - 5-4-2005 at 09:32 PM

Would the Baja Salts be somehow less "Baja" if a person were to have Kenny G playing while using them while taking a bath?

Definitely less "baja" but more "kosher". Besides being a horrible sax player, Kenny G is jewish. (Not that one has anything to do with the other.) :lol:
