In the mid-19th century, a talented American entrepreneur, Charles Forster, came up with a very creative way to promote his product - toothpicks. People he hired would ask for toothpicks in stores. The store owner would admit that he didn't have such a product, and the "customers" would leave with their money. And then, by an incredible coincidence, Forster would show up and offer his toothpicks to the store owner, who would happily buy them.
