Nouns Wet Wipes will become a permanent item in the market after this initial investment of USD 19,050. I am voting Yes trusting 2 Nouners that this will be the case. Prove me right.

As a father of two young children, I believe the world needs more wet wipes, so why not have nouns ones

i hope the team will come back with a bit more details on the design & distribution side to increase confidence in this experiment

idk, theres something a bit absurdist and funny about nouns wet wipes? also the budget ask is very modest and Im very much in favor of nouners dabbling with their first onchain prop with something very manageable and within their expertise. like this isnt low effort or a grift of any sort imo. this just feels like two genuine nouners with retail expertise being like whats something small we could try first? Im supportive of this energy.

This proposal seems to be facing opposition, most likely due to the unconventional nature of the product being wet wipes — but I believe there are valid reasons to say yes to this! If one of the goals of the DAO is to proliferate the meme that is Nouns, printed products can absolutely have a positive impact. Moreover, the financial ask is completely reasonable, the team has experience, and theres a plan to make this a permanent item in a physical store. I believe that one of the biggest advantages of Nouns as a DAO is the ability to support unconventional and creative projects that may not receive funding elsewhere. The request for $20,000 (almost entirely going to manufacturing with minimal overhead) seems like a worthwhile ask. The worst case scenario here is that these are made and mostly used as a giveaway item at web3 conferences. That would be fine! But in a best case scenario, these become a staple of someones shopping experience, helping to normalize NFTs and demonstrate how DAOs can turn unique ideas into reality. Kudos to Noun 587 and Noun 426 for their effort to STOP the spread of bacteria while STARTING the spread of the meme that is Nouns.

reasonable ask, but unfortunately this doesnt scream nounish for me 🥹

this is really unique and fun imo, but the lack of details on strategy/distribution/marketing makes me vote against. also, would like to see various design mockups options.

I dont think Wet Wipes are an effective method of proliferation. Even if someone were to acquire them and have a positive experience, its unlikely they would become curious about Nouns and its mission.

I disagree with the sentiment that wet wipes/this product arent Nounish, IMO one of the coolest things about Nouns is that we can have people building in totally different segments - like funding an E-sports team one day, and a wet wipes product the next. The idea is fun and cool and dont have any problems with it. That being said, Im not sure that at this stage its ready for a full onchain funding. It feels like the marketing/distribution strategy needs to be a bit more fleshed out beyond just give these away at crypto events. This is the sort of proposal Id love to see do a trial run via Prop House at smaller scale, and then if we think the experiment is worth continuing, we could continue with more funding.

I dont think wet wipes are very Nounish.

not against this in principle, but voting against bc the design mock is uninteresting and low effort. given that the brand is otherwise open source and not subject to quality control, we should have a high bar for design & brand standards in the products that are directly funded by the treasury. would vote yes on a more thoughtfully designed version of this product

Not exciting or weird enough -- i could see myself vote for these type of goods but i would like to see more heart. This iteration of the prop feels a bit too checkbox exercisey.

Thanks to the proposers for the time and energy put in here! I am voting against namely because I think consumer goods are SUPER hard and I would only want to back if we had an obviously great gtm. I think this is a place where you really need to sweat the details up front and not figure it out later: design, marketing, partners, etc. Theres not enough here that makes me feel confident this could do well. I also think wipes are not super charismatic product.

I’m voting against this proposal. I appreciate the goal of this prop: to increase brand awareness for Nouns; however, I don’t think a run of wet wipes will actually break through and get the quantity and quality of awareness for Nouns that we strive for. The ask is actually pretty small and I think Noun 426 and 587 are respectable for not requesting an obscene amount of funds, but I question the sustainability of this effort and the return for the DAO. Sustainability: Once this run of wipes is manufactured and possibly sold, how does this move forward perpetually? Will there be another prop for more funds to make more wipes? Return: I noticed the prop includes renumeration; why wouldn’t these funds go back to the DAO and/or used to facilitate sustainability of the effort?

Poll failed to meet vote threshold. **FOR - 25 VOTES** **Sasquatch** | *DAO wet wipes: Decentralizing cleanliness, one swipe at a time!* **Akva** | *Many say Nouns should be weird or that we have to keep the Nouns weird. There you go.* *Are you not entertained, anon?* *⌐◨-◨* **byhardy** | *imo wipes were an odd choice. that said, definitely think this is an experiment worth trying, especially at cost. also really appreciate the directness of the proposal. these folks seem like they know what theyre doing. lets run it.* **AGAINST - 25 VOTES** **JackWyldes** | *I want to like this as a fan of wet wipes but for some reason it feels like a troll* **Benbodhi** | *Concept seems loke it could be a good idea. But id rather see the branding on wet wipes for kids rather than at events. I personally don’t associate good vibes with places offering wet wipes in this format and think it may not be great for nouns. Baby wipes though, has some value I think.*

Noun426 and 587 plan to create Nouns first branded Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) product, Nouns Wet Wipes, to increase brand awareness. The wipes will defe nd against bacteria and viruses, moisturize dry skin, and spread the Nouns brand.

this is so Nounish! Are these flushable?
No, they are not flushable.
