A 23-year-old barber from Texas thought he was onto something when he started attaching condoms to his business cards but there was a major flaw.
On Sunday, Twitter user Jake Gamez shared photos of one of the cards for FadeAway Barbershop stapled to a condom, saying: "Gotta include one of these with every card! Youre going to need it after I cut your hair. Trust me."
Twitter users, however, were quick to point out his mistake by stapling the card to the condom, he had poked holes in the items, essentially rendering them useless.
"Umm are we just gonna ignore the staple in the middle of the condom orrr," one user tweeted.
"But... the hole... from the staple...???" another wrote.
One simply wrote: "Wait."
One Twitter user pointed out: "This main ain't dumb, he's gonna be cutting their kids hair too and doubling his profits."
While one user asked whether somebody was going to tell him, if he didn't know in the beginning, he definitely does now.
A Twitter moment was created asking: "Were these free condoms a mistake or a cheeky business plan?"
Mistake or not, the tweet has certainly garnered some attention to his business.
He even retweeted some of the responses to his intial tweet before sharing a photo of some of his work to his new fans .
"Thank you all for being here," he wrote. "Truly an honour."
