Let’s cut to the chase: the answer is a coffin. Yeah, that box. The maker never uses it; the buyer (usually a grieving family) doesn’t need it for themselves; and the person inside—well, they’re past seeing or feeling anything. Morbid? A little. But stick with me, because this riddle is a masterclass in irony.
Think about it: we spend our lives avoiding the very thing we’re guaranteed to end up in. Funny, isn’t it? The undertaker builds it, the widow pays for it, and the deceased checks in but never checks out. No one in that chain actually wants the product for themselves.
