I wish I was a billionaire. I'd buy up a pet food company and get keep it
producing the same old doggy chow, but relabel the tins to say "Gourmet
Beef Stew" ... you'd make piles of money out of all the stupid people who
blindly believe what's written on the tin is what's actually inside it.
There would also be great reviews in all the food magainzes and websites
by the blind dumbasses saying how amazing this new "beef stew" is, etc. 

Then, a couple of years later, "reboot" the "stew" by
getting rid of the
doggy chow and filling the tins "solid waste" from the local sewerage
plant ... and you'd still be making piles of money and review saying "it's
even better" thanks to all these blind morons.   :-\
