10 Things To Share With Travelers at O'Hare This Holiday Season

Once you're past the security barrier, getting stranded at O'Hare can get brutal. Pack wisely and not only will you make the wait for bearable, but you could also make some extra scratch while spreading some much-needed holiday cheer. 

Here are our top ten tips for what should go in that holiday carry-on suitcase: 

1. Snuggies - You can buy these for $15 at . Double your money by selling them to shoeless travelers who packed their heavy winter coats in their checked luggage. Extra bonus, they double as pillows.
2. Power strips - Precious power outlets are few and far between. Pick up a few of these and set up a chain stretching across the terminal floor. Droid and iPhone addicts going into withdrawal will cheerfully pay by the minute to recharge their phones.
3. Nicorette - Anyone who only packed enough gum for their flight is ready to gnaw their own lips off. Ease their tensions and everyone in the airport will thank you.
4. Inflatable punching bag - You can find these for under $5. Uninflated, you can fit one in each suitecase pocket. Set it up just past the TSA check in station and charge $1 per minute for people to punch out their frustrations.
5. Murder mystery party games - Stranded travelers can feel homicidal. Sell your games to groups of strangers waiting for the same flight. They can make friends with other potential murderers while killing time.
6. Aldi wine - Aldi wine costs $4 a bottle while O'Hare wine costs $8 a glass. Find a group of stranded frat boys and set up your own "bar." Honestly, officer, we're all just spreading a little holiday joy.
7. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches - Two loaves of bread, a tub of peanut butter and a jar of jelly will run you $6 but give you the supplies to make more than 20 sandwiches. Sell this solid comfort food to weary travelers who are ready to throw up in their mouth at the thought of another Chili's Southwest eggroll.
8. Office over-the-door basketball hoop - Bring two of these to set up a miniature basketball court inside the terminal. You can sell Aldi wine and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the bystanders while also taking bets on the soccer moms versus the goth kids.
9. Temporary tattoos - TSA is doing its best to make airports feel like prison. Sell temporary tattoos so after the passengers are released they'll have evidence of the hard times they served on the inside.
10. Werewolves of Miller's Hollow- Up to 30 people can play this simple game while waiting in the TSA security line. You're all sitting on the floor anyway. Bring extra copies to sell inside if TSA agents suspicious of all the clapping with your eyes closed don't have you arrested for starting a cult.
