Short YouTube monologue (creator: Chris Koerner) criticizing a Swig franchise. The speaker questions the economics and ethics of investing roughly $500,000–$1.1 million to open several Swig locations, calls the product "sugar water" that contributes to type 2 diabetes, labels the concept a fad, and urges followers to choose less harmful, lower-cost businesses.
Okay, so this boggles my mind. I'm out here on a bike ride and I ride past this Swig location. In case you're wondering, Swig is a franchise that sells sugar water to kids and gives adults type 2 diabetes and I'm thinking of all the ways to make money. Some high net worth Texas investor decided to drop 500,000 to $1.1 million to open this location and they have to open five as required by the franchisor. There are so many ways to make money out there in the world. Why spend $500,000 selling sugar water to kids? Why is the menu so big when it should just say what would you like today? Type 2 diabetes, hyperactivity or obesity? Not to mention there are no cars in this dang parking lot. This is a fad. This is a fad. Please pick a business that A doesn't cost this much to start and B doesn't make people addicted to something poisonous. Follow me for more.
