Jell-o millionaire
One day I plan to be rich. And rather than put my money in some stupid bank, I’ll put in Jell-o. Here’s how it would work.
- Let’s assume $10,000,000 is “rich”
- Right now Harris Teeter’s is selling 6-packs of sugar-free Jell-o for $3.79. Each cup is 3.333 oz, so that’s $0.1895/oz. Not bad at all.
- $10,000,000 = 52,770,448.549 oz = 3,298,153.034 lbs. of Jell-o
- That’s 1,649 tons of Jell-o, which is really quite manageable and disappointing.
- If I had $1,000,000,000, I could buy 164,900 tons of Jello-o. That’s more than two Nimitz Class aircraft carriers*.
