Farting in jars is dangerous business. You don't want to end up like that lady from 90 Day Fiancé do you???

Something about that story smells fishy.

$1k / jar and brought in $100k... so that's 100 jars total. Maybe a little extra in case of an accident during shipping. So why did she need to fart 50x per week? Shit, that would be $2.4 million per year of she could actually sell that.

So the way I see it, she was farting in a jar 50x per week but only selling 2 of them... that's not a business, that's a fetish she managed to squeeze a whiff of money out of.
