I came up with a new get-rich-quick scheme that’s sure to work! While browsing the spices at my local Sprouts, I noticed a remarkable price tag. Per ounce, saffron threads work out to be $1,299.

  1. Start growing my own saffron.
  2. ???
  3. Major profits!

@dandycat Halfway through scraping the first ounce of pollen off the flowers, I’m sure you’ll find out the reason. 😊

@odd Maybe I can pay for experimental strength allergy medication with the profits I’ll make from selling the saffron?

@odd @dandycat Also, you will need ~4,500-5,000 flowers to get one ounce.

@pratik Well, now it’s beginning to sound like this get-rich-quick scheme could turn out to be a lose-all-my-money-on-flowers scheme!

@dandycat Ha! And Iran is responsible for 90% of saffron production so just a FYI on who your competition might be. Don't want you to be Walter White-ed

@pratik Hmm, I don't think I have the relentless and murderous spirit of Walter White. Against the entire country of Iran, I'm more like his infant daughter, Holly.
