Anything you want

Tweeters are a demanding bunch, and while lots of “I’d pay for” tweets are about very specific needs we were sure we’d find some predictable ones too.

Here are some of the most popular things that people are talking about paying for (whether that’s for extras, add-ons or the thing itself).

Among those were some sensible suggestions for big brands, tips for customer service and a whole lot of silly ideas.
