Revenge is a dish best served glittery: company offering to glitter bomb your enemies sells out
The Guardian
Australian startup that lets you ship glitter to your enemies for $10 is swamped with orders from people keen to wreak sparkly revenge
An Australian startup promising to “ship glitter to your enemies” said it had been overwhelmed by demand within 24 hours of its launch, exceeding its founder’s supply of all seven colours of the substance.
Sydney-based entrepreneur Mathew Carpenter, 22, said he had been swamped with orders from people keen to wreak sparkly revenge on those who had wronged them.
After being featured on Reddit, the Huffington Post, Gizmodo and Business Insider hours after it launched on Tuesday, ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com crashed for several hours.
Ordering was temporarily suspended after “thousands” of orders from around the world exceeded Carpenter’s supply of glitter. “People seem to have a lot of enemies,” he said.
For just $10, Carpenter will send “the herpes of the craft world” to any address in the world, along with a note explaining what they did to deserve it.
“We’ll send them so much glitter in an envelope that they’ll be finding that shit everywhere for weeks,” the site promises. “Hint: the glitter will be mixed in with the note, thus increasing maximum spillage.”
