Never took a NYC subway, and bought candy from some kid? Unfortunately, they usually don’t have chocolate because it melts in the heat of the subway, so they usually have hard candies like Skittles and Nerds, which I don’t much care for.
When they have chocolate, I’ll buy some. I like to help out budding young entrepreneurs, starting out like Jobs and Gates, stealing their code and reselling it.
There’s a massive market. I’ve been offered all sorts in a pub. Chocolate, Gillette razors, batteries, aftershave, meat. Usually carried in a large hodall, rather than a coat!
If I were making a list of things I’d never buy from some bloke at the pub, dodgy meat would be high up. My memory is hazy, but I think they were pork chops.
I remember addicts coming through the hood to sell steaks, laundry detergent, anything to chase the proverbial dragon, rabbit, etc.
It would be a huge ROI for society to actually address issues causing addiction and the ills that go with it, but it’s not fast, flashy, or serving the right agendas, unlike the illicit drug market, prison and military industrial complexes, and unlivable wages. And that’s why the illicit drug trade, unaffordable pregnancies, and human trafficking aren’t meaningfully addressed.
A guy I hired to do simple back breaking labor when I was building out my store, called up several months later to offer me a giant spool of copper wire that he had “found.”
I don’t know why he thought I’d want to buy it, but I appreciate having first dibs. Had to pass on it though.
I just don’t buy that there’s a market for bootleg chocolate…
(opens coat) “Heyyyy, uh, can I interest you in a Hershey bar? Maybe some Twix?”

They say that in certain neighborhoods, Tide laundry detergent and baby formula are almost like currency.
What kind of meat?
