They have this already. Several companies around Disney that I have looked into in the past.

You thought I was being serious about an iPhone app for ice?I like how you say there is no money in her idea, but yet your idea about an iPhone app for ice is perfectly valid
I paid $.17 per ice bag. I can fill them up with my ice maker and store them in my extra freezer. Ill always have a few ice bags on hand. Really don't see a downside to this purchase.Eta - ice maker is small hence the need for the bagsYou paid 17 bucks for bags?Random purchase that seems like a few folks here might benefit from. This occurred to me as I had to make an extra stop to go pick up a bag of ice the other day.
My freezer produces ice...but it's usually not enough ice to fill an ice chest, and if you empty that ice, you don't have other ice to put in your drinks. Bags of ice are typically $2-3 at the store, plus you have to go there...sometimes it's your only purchase.
Boom - $17 for 100 ice bags shipped. Now I'll always have multiple bags of ice on hand
it's the little things
"Boom"? Really?

How about this idea: in Austin they just banned plastic grocery bags so everyone uses those vinyl or canvas ones. What about decorative vinyl ice bags? Like with Disney characters or sports team logos on them? You could show your team spirit when fetching bag of ice PLUS you could reuse the bags!I paid $.17 per ice bag.

Just read an article in money magazine on a guy who quit his medical practice to start this. Over $30MM in revenue in his 3rd year.

Actually, it being only $25 compounds the problem. In my experience, people stop paying attention to the small $ leagues after a few weeks b/c managing them becomes tedious. The draft is where all the fun is...and it seems like the 18 people after me also support.
Surely, it's not about the money. I just dropped $17 on ####### ice bags!!!!!!!!!111111111111111

But then again, I thought they came with ice.

I picture Tiger Fan with his bags of ice like that last scene in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

See, I assumed the bags haven't arrived yet, so he's hoarding cubes of ice like meat during the depression
2 milk jugs and 3 20-oz coke zero bottles full of frozen water in freezer in the garage. Kitchen freezer ice maker is full and is waiting on the bags. ETA on filling the bags is Wed/Thu depending on shipping.

I recommend not using plastic to freeze ice if you plan on drinking the water or using the ice in drinks. Even BPA free has bad (carcinogenic) stuff that can leach out in extreme temps- hot or cold.
You can use glass, but be very careful not to overfill or it will break the container. I usually stand them up with the lid off, then cap once frozen.
Or use milk/OJ cartons that are wax coated paper.

I have no idea if this is viable business, nor do you. The pricing and costs that you outlined are way off base (but then again, I wouldn't expect a guy from Texas to know how much a coat costs
), but if they were correct, then maybe the business would be viable. Assuming a coat costs $60 retail ( 
), then conservatively let's say you could get it wholesale for $30. If you rented for $20/day ( ), then you'd have the purchase money back in 1-1/2 days of rental (obviously there's still overhead). Ask car rental companies how long it takes them to get to that point.As for people not renting something they could buy for the same amount after a certain number of rentals...people rent beach chairs. They rent ski equipment including coats. Hell, in some parts of the world you can rent bikinis on the beach.
The point is not that this business would be profitable--maybe it would, but if I had done the months of market studies and numbers crunching to find out, then I'd be having someone implement it. The point is that I want someone to start this business for me. I don't want to have to choose one coat, purchase it, and drag it all over the world. I'd rather have a choice of coats so I can go with my particular style that day and not deal with it otherwise. Do you know what a pain it is to deal with a coat getting to the airport and back in a tropical climate? Putting it in a suitcase takes up valuable carry-on space, so no thank you. I'd rather just freeze. In fact, I bet numerous stylish people freeze to death every year just for this reason. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE.
Seriously, I just want to rent a coat and would like someone to start this business. It's like when I worked in downtown Chicago and wanted someone to start Naps to Go, which would be a fleet of soundproof vans custom-fitted with comfy beds that would whisk you away from your office for a 30- or 45-minute nap. It didn't matter if it made them money; I just wanted it.

I'm assuming hand brakes? Oil on bike brake pads is a VERY bad idea... unless you don't love your daughter.

Yea, I didn't think it was a good idea, that' why I'm wondering if there is anything to silence it or if they just need to "break in".
