    I didn’t think they could do one sequel to Cocaine Bear, much less two. But they did it, and in record time. Cocaine Shark wasn’t my jam but I’ll give it credit for doing a lot of world building. Cocaine Barnacle should have gone straight to video though.

    I love how there’s a cop posing with it as though it was a big bust instead of some random turning in what they found.

    and the dumbasses reported it.

    I mean… uh… yeah. the honorable and honest citizens … uh. er. did the, uhm, right thing?

    (for the record it was probably contaminated by sea water, and probably not worth getting the cartels on you for looting their shit.)

      I’ll take coke cut with some sea salt over whatever it gets cut with once it hits the shores and goes from dealer to dealer.

        Drywall powder. Anything cheap, white, and powdered! Street coke in the US in 2024 is less than 50% pure.

            Yes. Better make sure that 10lbs of cocaine doesn’t get into the hands of people and is properly destroyed by authorities

              Never mind, the whole cocaine thing was just a rumor.
