Idea #27: Flavoured Ice Cubes

During the summer when temperatures are high and people are constaintly in need of refreshment, their drinks need to stay cool despite the weather. Ice cubes are a great way to do this but when they're made out of water they always effect the taste and form of the drink. That's why you should start a business that produces ice cubes that are made out of a specific drink or flavour so that when you put them into you drink to cool it, it doesn't change the taste. The challenge is how to keep the ice cubes frozen as they make their way to the consumer but it's not an impossible task.

Idea #24: Card Decks

Most people like playing cards and because of that they need to buy a deck to play with. Also, card decks have become very versatile products and are sold in many ways such as "tourist junk" in all tourist shops. One way to make money off card decks is to design the cards in a certain style or theme. There are already lots of them based on a theme but that doesn't matter, as long as you come up with a theme that draws customers to you. If you just use somekind of boring theme that has nothing interesting in it, you can immediately say goodbye to success. This idea requires lots of imagination and artistic talent and if you possess these qualities, you could be on the road to prosperity.
