It’s not “kept somewhat quiet” coverage has been heavy for years. You know about it, it’s well documented enough to be a marketing angle for these these companies.

But part and parcel of how opinions seem to be shifting on these. Is less buy in on the idea that plant agriculture is automagically better for the…

That’s the thing. This is BBCE’s second go round with a high value, fake Pokémon box. Paul was apparently connected to that one as well, though tangentially. He avoiding buying that fake.

But it generated a huge amount of attention and views for anyone even just commenting on it. Hell even I ended up catching it, and…

apparently, the box was a really good fake.

Here it seems even easier. As the item was a case of purportedly sealed booster boxes. All that was sealing it was pretty easy to come by security tape. 

From what I understand the thing with this sort of thing is less that unopened shit is automagically worth more than opened stuff. Which is certainly the thing with like action figures and shit.

It’s unopened stuff is uncirculated, whatever the hell is in there is should be in perfect condition. The odds that they…

It could be a sandwich. 

Hey let me quote myself.

I think you found the explanation in “it’s tik tok”.

Like I said. There was a gold rush on selling 14 year olds raw wet douche at the time.

You don’t have to pay royalties for the use of products like this in films. There’s some liability in regards to whether your depiction is disparaging or potentially making a claim about a product. Or creating an association or impression of endorsement where that might undesirable.

From what I gather from some similar shit I got stuck on this Baseball Card Exchange place has no background in anything but Sports Memorabilia. Hasn’t really authenticated much Pokemon stuff, isn’t terribly well known, and this isn’t how that’s handled. They seem to be generally considered OK by baseball card guys.

In other countries like India. Where 30% of people are vegetarian, 80%+ don’t eat beef.

Oddly enough salt marsh lamb seems to be completely unavailable in the US, and I doubt many people would know what it is.

That’s despite having plenty of salt marsh, near farming areas, where farming sheep is becoming more popular. And proposals to graze animals in or near marshland for recovery and control of ticks…

Yeah the beer business is headed for a crash. And the pandemic is not helping. Something like 70% of the alcohol market is in bars and restaurants, no amount of retail uptick was going to offset what COVID has done there. And the retail uptick kinda a went away last spring.

Part of the focus on Seltzers is, especially…

That is dated October 1980.

We changed the rules in 2005. From what I recall it’s actually ensconced in a trade treaty at this point.

SURE. But long standing connotations are long standing connotations.

Millions of people in the US drink tea everyday.

But Tea still has a connotation of fancy schmancy here. Cause English people.

For context .5% of the population in the US is like million, a million and half people.

And not everyone with a meat allergy needs to avoid cross contamination. My brother picked up an alpha gal allergy from a tick bite. After the acute period passed, cross contamination wasn’t an issue for him at all. I’m allergic to…

I think more importantly. The bottle has been seemingly melted a bit to make it look old and crunched.

And the siracha there in is the disturbing dark red-brown that results from some one never refrigerating a long open bottle.

The prop was clearly dressed, carefully, to look extra gross and college studenty.

If “cap…

Thing is you’re not the market.

Neither are the vegans. Vegans are at most half a percent of the US population. Vegetarians in general, where cross contamination is much less of an issue, are still just 5% in the highest polling.

Numbers globally are actually smaller.

In most given markets you’re talking about a few…

I really don’t think it does.

Like I said actual sales numbers and revenue show a 4% drop at major retailers and convenience chains (most of what Neilson tracks here). More comprehensive looks including beer distributors and small retailers show a larger one. Up to 14%. That’s not a drop in growth, it’s actual volume…
