Project Unicorn

UniMeat.com or something.
I want to find a low budget way to make "unicorn meat" (some sort of normal meat colored white)

However, I need help on the UniMeat and how to make a website on a Mac. Also I want to find out how people should buy the meat. (how do you do the credit card stuff and everything. I don't want to have to program.)

I got the idea of the site in math class a few days ago. I went off into my own world for a sec, and thought about Dilbert. In one comic, the Marketing people had barbecue thursdays. They barbecued unicorns.

Now, will anyone help me on Project Unicorn?

Status: Still just a possibility. I think I might be allowed to, but I'd need a lot of money and meat.

ONE OTHER QUESTION- what should the meat be priced? (I mean, you could only buy a few sizes- not by pound)

Re: Project Unicorn

You'd probably need some sort of special license to sell meat, and how do you plan on packaging it? Are you going to cure it somehow so it doesn't spoil or are you going to freeze it? Are you going to be shipping it totally raw? Where are you going to store tge meat that hasn't been sold yet? Do you know about the regulations for shipping meat? Can you ship internationally? You'll probably need to look into, well, all of that somehow

And if I had to guess there isn't any non-disgusting way to dye meat white. Depending on where you live there's probably some meats you can get for a lot cheaper than others and buying in bulk (which is probably what you'll be doing, if you actually do this) is going to cost you a lot but save you a lot also

This isn't really something you can just decide to do one day, there's a lot of necessary steps and precautions you've got to think about


I would rather be alone than pretend I feel alright

First of all, I'd be buying normal meat, so I don't think I'd have troubles selling it. I mean, if it's been approved already, just re-packaged and changed a little...

But yeah, packaging it. Whether or not it's cooked, would it spoil either way? I'd probably only sell it through the US. Do you know how to deliver meat without it spoiling?

I guess I could sell super-white chicken with sparkles. But how do you cook candy sparkles?

last but not least, would it even taste good? barbecue chicken with sparkles sounds... unique...

Re: Project Unicorn

I'm just a kid. Not tons of money. How could I afford all that meat?

Fine. Round up all of the currently existing unicorns in the world, then kill them.

Re: Project Unicorn

You'd have to be really careful to round up every single one of them though. Imagine the pain the last one would feel if you accidentally left him out and every other unicorn was dead. I would probably avoid doing it all at once just to avoid the possibility of causing a unicorn to go through that.

or leave two unicorns of opposite sexes so they can repopulate and you can replenish your stock when it runs out!

I think I'm probably going to have to make fake unicorn meat though, because unicorns are super hard to find. I thought they only lived in the candy forests of Albany, New York. ( no, I don't live there. I don't live near NY, so it would be very hard to stock up on unicorn)
