NYSE-Style Ticker Symbols For Terrible Business Ideas
SMOO: Smoove
A topical stool softener you apply to your stool after you’ve made your movement, Smoove does nothing for the consumer’s body, but lessens the wear and tear of harsh BM’s on their toilet.

SNU: Système de Navigation Utopie
This French navigation system directs users directly to their own personal utopias. Speaking with a soothing, sophisticated French accent, Système de Navigation Utopie, gives you step by step directions to your happy place based on a few preliminary questions, though it is best suited for people who love Paris.
NUTZ: Nütz
Like regular nuts, but with a cool, Nü Metal vibe. These cashews and almonds have heavy bass, dreadlocks, are terrible at rapping and of course, are white.
ZITZ: Z-Itz

PLAC: Placeebo
Placeebo is the placebo pill for Gen Z. It doesn’t do anything, but they don’t have to know that. Soon, rather than crying on Instagram, they’ll be unwittingly suppressing their emotions like so many generations that came before them.
