You can start them off with saluting the gravy boat and work your way up.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

My basically-brother-in-law and I came up with an idea for a company that sells household items emblazoned with goofy shit. One of our "products" was a gravy boat that has "we're going to need a bigger boat" stenciled on it.
and the horse you rode in on

1. Make product that vaguely looks like Hitler.
2. Create huge billboard for the product and post a picture on Reddit, Tumblr etc.
3. PROFIT.

Our flagship product could be a matching pot and kettle set. :P
Experience bij!
