I Just Got Business Cards for all That Business I Don't Have

Alternate Title: I Just Got Business Cards and I Feel Pretty Awesome About Them

Despite my new found love for small pieces of paper with my name on them, I think, as with anything, there's always room for improvement in the Business Card Industry. Especially when those business cards are MINE.

I wish my business cards were edible, or, in the very least, lickable. I mean, people are way more likely to use something they keep in their mouths. Example: I use my tongue all the time. Also, I'm pretty sure I use my teeth on a daily basis (also found in the mouth).

Case and point: not enough things are open to the confines of my mouth-hole, something I would like to see more of in the Business Card Industry.

Upon further reflection, "edible" may not be so good. People would get my card, but then lose all pertinent information if they found themselves hungry in the tummy. Then again, it's like an offering of more than my just contact info. It's almost like I'm saying "let me take you out to lunch", but a lot cheaper, and not involving taking anyone out for anything.

Business Cards: Put a piece of edible paper with your name on it somewhere in someone's digestive tract.

Also, if people are going to lose my business card anyway, they may as well eat it. "Oh yeah, that business card I ate. That belonged to Jackie Silvestri." We're talking lasting impressions.

Then, of course, there's the fear of someone choking on my card. But that's a risk I'm willing to take. That's a risk for progress.

All in all, I think the edible/lickable card thing is the wave of the future, leaving people with a zesty aftertaste of me.
