Failed business strategy #1

ventaToday and yesterday there has been a white van parked outside work. On it is the name of the company (Grasshoppers), two phone numbers, an email address and the suggestion "Why not give us a try?"
Now, the very obvious answer to that is Because we don't know what the bloody hell it is you do. Unless they supply grasshoppers, of course.
Surely this is such a fundamental thing that no one bright enough to run a business could miss it ?

Like a pringle, a single mingle is simply to small to be considered as a unit of snack. So consuming a viable quantity results in much littering of wrappers, making the consumption levels more visible than one might wish.
On the other hand, one can eat a handful of the pesky little blighters.

why do they wrap them individually?
Maybe because 1 is the g.c.d of the various numbers of mingles you might want to eat.
