You're In Business

Limewedge is a UK-based cocktail delivery service launched in 2020 (contradicting the 2017 input date) to capitalize on COVID-19 lockdowns. While the business is a legitimate legal entity (LIME WEDGE LTD), the website is currently in maintenance mode ('Pardon our dust'), indicating a stalled or failed venture. The submission contains significant hyperbole and red flags: claiming 'most people have used my product' despite having only ~2 Trustpilot reviews, and listing an unverified 'marketcap' of 500,000. The project offers standard e-commerce functionality with no technical innovation and has missed its peak market timing.

Description
"Well I was born in a lovely little factory just outsid… Oh, you didn’t us about Limewedge boxes. Fine, but the company’s story is just as interesting." There was a time, back when people spent a lot of time in their house because of some Covid-iot (ha, classic), that a young man… OK a young-ish man named Chris Mead embarked on an idea which would change people’s home cocktail experiences forever. Chris has been a lover of craft cocktails for years, after working as a bartender in lovely bars / restaurants throughout Bristol and Leicester, this is where his love of experimenting with flavours and ingredients came from. And also, the love of seeing someone trying something delicious. But, this was not enough. How could he give this to more people? And so Limewedge was born, creating these themed boxes filled with exciting drinks, ingredients and techniques so the party host and amateur mixologist at home (that’s you) could expand their horizons and keeping being delighted with the results. This is where the vision of these boxes came from. Not to be just a beverage, but to be an experience. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the brief story of our Founder and Chief Lime Chris Mead and how Limewedge came to be. I’m sure there will be more exciting adventures yet, but for now, take a look at our products and join us on this journey. "BTW, if you would’ve stuck with my story, you would get to know how I rounded up these ingredients from the mountains of Switzerland to the Lakes of Northern Italy. But yeah, I bet that was muuuch better."
