Buy Real Official Irish Dirt
Real official Irish dirt can be bought in America from two Irishmen who are not afraid of getting their hands dirty.
For planting a tree to commemorate someone, for growing Irish shamrock all year round, or - and this is their main target market - for sprinkling inside your coffin just before you get buried (get a friend to help you with this), you need just the one bag of dirt from Ireland.
In a 0.75lb bag, and selling for $15, the dirty Irish men already have $1 million worth of bags shipped over. The Irish Examiner has the story. The website for the business is not yet finished as the business isn’t scheduled to go live online for another two weeks - but you get the gist of it. From Irish grass, all manner of green stuff grows, even little people.

Don’t mock; this could yet be another of Ireland’s great inventions. Once upon a time Irish people laughed at Irish people who said they were going to bottle Irish water and sell it around the world. What, like Perrier? we said, laughing. It was called Ballygowan.

Then again another time Irish people laughed at Irish people planning on selling cans of Irish air to Irish-America. Real official air like, just as this is real official dirt. That business vanished without trace though. Into thin air, you might say.
