In this economy (or any economy) it can be tough getting that first job interview. For recruiters, resumes start to blend together and Rolodexes fill up with anonymous business cards. Unless of course, yours is the only card emitting the sweet fragrances of jerky.
That is the goal of Meat Cards. Using a laser and carbon dioxide, Meat Cards can turn an ordinary piece of beef jerky into a calling card that a prospective employer/client will never forget. The laser etches your name or Web site or business onto the piece of jerky in yellow writing. Plus it's supposedly safe to eat, claiming that it only contains two ingredients, "meat and lasers."
According to their busy Twitter page,
the folks at Meat Card are hard at work trying to figure out other foods the laser will
work with because they're having a little legal trouble selling meat
cards. "We'll
post purchasing instructions ... as we figure out how NOT to get arrested
as unlicensed meat purveyors." Besides, what if the recruiter is a vegetarian? The company is already at work producing non-meat etched cards. The candy Airheads proved to be a dud but some fruits look promising.
The problem is finding a food that can last for years at room temperature. Meat Cards says that even if the economy completely collapses, it wants the cards to retain their value by being "calorie-rich."
Meat Cards will go on sale as soon as they work out that whole "unlicensed meat purveyor" thing. In the meantime, there are still cool things you can do with more conventional non-edible business card, like make it
