Last week I wrote about the Mile High Club and the business opportunity it represents after reading a post on another blog. After I’d written the post I read through the comments on that blog and came across one that, commenting on untapped niche markets said:

I did that recently…(start a business in a niche market) and it took off big time. Still going strong from February. It’s amazing when you start something that people haven’t seen before. I went from 0 to almost 100,000 visitors in the past three weeks. The sales have been damn good too.

So I took a look at the author of that comments site. His site is Chocolate Party Hats and when I wandered over there to take a look I couldn’t resist a smile, it’s certain a niche market. I also like the fact that where the idea for the business came from is explained on the blog, it says:

So around April 2007, I was listening to a syndicated morning radio show out of Charlotte, NC called the Ace & TJ Show. During one of their segments they were discussing a poll that came out from the UK. It stated that many women were going against the Laws of Nature. Over 50% said that they preferred eating a nice piece of chocolate to having sex.

Disgusted by this injustice I vowed to save mankind. That same day, I was on my lunch break and the idea knocked me on my ass. Women love chocolate, guys love getting head! If you ask them to be honest, most guys have a personalized name for their One-eyed Willy. So why don’t we go one step further and give it some personality! Hats convey personality; why not make a hat out of chocolate.

The hats in question look like:

It just shows you business ideas can come from anywhere at any time and if they’re remarkable enough can grow very quickly.
