There are 3 types of products-
Painkillers: an immediate solution to a pressing problem.
Vitamins: not solving a pressing problem but something that can enhance your overall quality of life.
Candy: something that doesn’t solve a pressing problem, or enhance your overall quality of life, but is still enjoyable nonetheless.
The fastest line to success would be to sell a painkiller. But there are also vitamins and candy that always have a place in the market.
There's also something to be said for having enough startup cash to be able to shut down or outlast everyone else selling painkillers, vitamins and candy. Or going to the painkiller tree in someone else's backyard and chopping it down.
