Humorous Eggplant Deliveries

This Website Allows Users to Mail an Eggplant with a Personal Message

— March 22, 2016 — Lifestyle
In addition to glitter, phallic candies and lumps of coals, consumers can now mail their enemies -- or even their friends -- an eggplant with a cruel message of their choosing.

The unusual service is available from Eggplantmail.com, which is a platform solely dedicated to mailing eggplants. Those who wish to send an eggplant simply need to enter the address of the recipient and the company will send an anonymous packaging containing the purple-hued vegetable. Senders can even add a personalized message to their eggplant, so that the recipient knows exactly why he or she is receiving the offending produce.

While the service is ideal for toying with your enemies, it can also serve as a fun way to play a practical joke on a friend.
Trend Themes
1. Eggplant Mail - Opportunity to tap into the growing trend of sending humorous eggplants as a unique form of communication.
2. Anonymous Gifting - Disruptive innovation opportunity in the market for anonymous gifting services that allow people to send unexpected and playful packages to friends and enemies alike.
3. Prank Delivery Services - Emerging trend of specialized delivery services that cater to people seeking to play pranks on others by sending unconventional and unexpected items.
Industry Implications
1. E-commerce - Opportunity for e-commerce platforms to explore and incorporate eggplant mail as a new category of products for customers to send in a humorous and surprising manner.
2. Gifting - Disruptive innovation opportunity in the gifting industry to offer unique and playful options, such as personalized eggplant deliveries, for customers looking for unconventional gift ideas.
3. Delivery Services - Growing market for specialized delivery services that offer anonymous and prank-based packages, like eggplant mail, to cater to customers' playful and mischievous side.
