A company promising to "ship glitter to your enemies" has achieved such a popular response that it has run out of glitter.
Mathew Carpenter claims that after his company was featured on Reddit, the Huffington Post, Gizmodo and the Business Insider demand was so intense it crashed the website according to The Guardian.
Ordering had to be temporarily suspended after Carpenter ran out of what he calls the “the herpes of the craft world.”
According to Carpenter the idea came to him after he received glitter filled Christmas and birthday cards from well intentioned relatives.
“I hated it, and wanted the rest of the world to feel my pain,” he said.
“We’ll send them so much glitter in an envelope that they’ll be finding that shit everywhere for weeks,” the site promises. “Hint: the glitter will be mixed in with the note, thus increasing maximum spillage.”
“People seem to have a lot of enemies,” He told The Guardian.
When asked how to contain the substance, Carpenter responded; “I don’t think you understand glitter. It doesn't work like that.”
