How to get rich selling toothbrushes

Agent 9 sends us the story of The Best Toothbrush Salesman Ever.

The kids filed into class Monday morning, all very excited. Their weekend assignment had been to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship.

Little Sally led off. "I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30," she said proudly. "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civic spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."
"Very good, Sally", said the teacher.

Little Debbie was next. "I sold magazines," she said. "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."
"Well done, Debbie," said the teacher.

Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467!" he said.
"$2,467!" cried the teacher. "What in the world were you selling?"
"Toothbrushes," said Little Johnny.
"Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher. "How could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much money?"
"I found the busiest corner in town," said Little Johnny. "I set up a Chip & Dip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample. They all said the same thing, 'Hey, this tastes like dog poop!' I would say, 'It is dog poop! Wanna buy a toothbrush?"

Agent 9 says little Johnny was using Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne's method. You give people some crap, dress it up so it looks good, tell them it's free, then make them pay to get the bad taste out of their mouths.
