Recently had a friend share this Twitter thread. Plenty of massive companies in the mix, and your standard B2B services and SaaS companies, but a solid handful of interesting and more unconventional ideas applicable to search as well. 

What's the most "out there" business you've looked into, or heard of somebody buying? 

Some interesting ones that caught my eye on the thread: bull semen importation / insemination services; hazmat cleanup; cold chain logistics

Cattle tag manufacturing (I think with some RFID exposure) was one I ran into recently that the livestock insemination one reminded me of.
