The Woman Who Sold Farts
Ahh, the wonders of free enterprise
I kid you not.
I had never heard of Stephanie Matto before today. The 31-year-old appeared on 90 Day Fiancé in 2020, has a YouTube channel, and is on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.
But what she is becoming famous for is her outside-the-box business idea of selling her flatulence to paying customers.
“That can’t be real!” you say.
Well, whether or not the product is genuine is not something I’m going to spend the money to find out, but the selling aspect did indeed take place.
Apparently, Stephanie received requests from several fans that she put her farts up for sale. And, in the name of making a buck, she did it.
For $1000 per jar!
Yeah, she made $200,000 by selling her farts.
Here she is talking about her unique business venture on her YouTube channel.
She then made headlines after checking into the hospital because she thought she was having a heart attack. But it turned out to be a bad case of gas due to the foods she was eating, which she had chosen due to their supposed gas-inducing properties.
You know, there’s a lot to be said for creativity and “thinking outside the box,” but really? Really? Is there no line in the sand?
This girl definitely has the sales gene running through her veins. In an interview with Entertainment Online, her defense of the high price she charges for her product was,
“When you take into account the cost of shipping and handling, the amount of food I have to eat in order to produce the farts, the amount of energy and exertion it goes into creating those farts, the flower petals that go into the fart jars which then capture the scent and also every single fart jar comes with a handwritten note, that takes time.”
Time equals money. “So when you total up everything, all of the effort and the natural resources that go into creating this once-in-a-lifetime product, then it really is a good deal when you think about it.”
I’ve seen several articles stating that after her little hospital scare, she is ending this particular business. Well, not exactly ending it. She has now moved into digital “currency” with NFT fart jars, which purchasers can use to buy personal time with Stephanie, zoom time, or mentor time, where they too can learn how to become “fartrepreneurs!”
You can’t make this stuff up.
You can check out her website below and see for yourself…if you really want to.
I am all for entrepreneurship and coming up with novel ideas for business, but as for monetizing bodily functions? Yeah, not happening here.
