[quote]Earlier this week, we learned that a new service would let you ship glitter to your enemies, because glitter is totally impossible to get rid of — especially after you’ve unwittingly opened a large box of it.
The site became so popular so quickly that its founder, Mathew Carpenter, has suspended the service and basically asked everyone to chill out.
“Hi guys, I’m the founder of this website,” Carpenter wrote on Product Hunt. “Please stop buying this horrible glitter product — I’m sick of dealing with it. Sincerely, Mat.”
In fact, after amassing a million page views in just 24 hours, Carpenter decided he was so overwhelmed that he’s planning to sell the site[/quote]
Good news: Here's a US-based alternative!

I liked the old website more...
It was a fun read
Aw, I only heard about it yesterday.
Such a good idea, surprised no one thought of it before.
My friend is going to be so sad to hear this.

im suprised the guy didn't cash out harder. he just gave up so easily. obviously the joke of shipping people glitter would die after a few weeks, why not ship as much glitter as possible?
he was selling it for 10 bucks for like pennies worth of glitter, shipping, and a card iirc.
Someone probably sent him glitter.
For the reasonably low price of $39.99, you can have an envelope filled with glitter sent every day, 6 days in a row.
For an additional price of $5.99 you can add penis confetti.
This is why I love the internet.
I thought this was a joke wtf this actually exists
I'm so gonna fucking do this
Wonder how much he is going to sell that for, with it's popularity he could pull 3-5 mill out of it any retire, which would be easier than running a website/business.

someone is probably making an alternative website right now..
Worse than ricin. At least with ricin you're dead and don't have to deal with glitter spills.
Within 4 days the website auction went from $1 to $70,800.
Damn, guess I can't buy it and sit on it to make a profit. :(
I know there is a similar site, but it sends horse shit.
lol, how passive-aggressive can a website get?
I had an idea to do this years ago but I thought it was stupid and also had no idea how to build a website.
):
This is basically how flappy bird got out of the app store, but just a different setting.
I don't see the need for this service, personally if I was mailing my enemies glitter I'd want them to know exactly who was telling them to get fucked
For those who don't know what the package is. It's a round tube with a spring inside ready to deliver a payload of glitter for those who open it. Problem is, that shit can get into your eyes thanks to the force given from the spring trap.

only problem is, someone [U]will[/U] sue when they get it in their lungs

There's this old cat-lady bitch in my neighborhood that leaves her cats dead in the middle of the street and I almost always find them, when returning from my friend's house for example, at like 4 in the morn. The corpses are like almost always missing a chunk from their head. It's gorey-terrible. Then the corpses lie in the sidewalk for days stinking up the hood. In front of her house. For days. Never bothers to pick up her dead pets.
I wanna send her tons of this shit.

Doesn't this shit warrant legal investigation or something? That sounds pretty fucked up man, no amounts of glitter will solve this.
Eh I guess the cats just get ran over at night, I don't think she's to blame for their deaths, but she's very neglectful and don't do shit about the corpses. I'm not a 'call the cops' kinda guy because with how shit they are here in Uruguay I never got along with them.
I like this send your enemy x market, very innovative.
I should send one to my uncle, pay him back for all the birthday letters he sends full of glitter to every one, shits horrifying and opening them over a bin helps very little.
Damn, Was hoping to use this website against my friend for revenge as he sent me baddragon dildos to my address.
