Genius! I've had a flash of Brilliance!


Just had probably the best idea to increase the sale of custard, since the custard industry cynically invented the cake.

Get ready for this! ...

Drinking Custard!

Yes! Yes!

Its brilliant isnt it!

Its like Drinking Chocolate, but instead of chocolate, its custard.

Drinking Custard

do you see?

Mark my words, within 6 months all the big custard producers (Birds, ... , and all the others) will be advertising Drinking Custard.

And people will be sat at home on the sofa with big mugs of Drinking Custard.

Get used to it, because thats the future.

Old hat, I remember seeing custard sculling races years ago. I think I was almost sick when I saw somebody do 2 litres in one go....

BTW, this band used to throw custard on the audience at gigs-

Must be true what they say: genius is close to madness.

*EDIT*

No, the Drinking Gravy idea would never work. One of my more ridiculous ideas.

If you do it, don't forget to make it open source!

To be sure, dumber ideas have succeeded and made a healthy profit. I wish you good fortune with your plan. (Hopefully it isn't already patented.)

This will only work with egg custard or vanilla custard. Otherwise it is geniarse and I will buy many shares. Monopoly money's legal tender, isn't it?

+1 to that. Especially around the holidays, being 2 degrees outside and completely smashed off of eggnog and spiced rum
