You know those horseshoe crabs that scientists find really precious and would pay a lot to milk them?
Yeah, I walked past a village several years ago where there were a ton of them there were being sold to be cooked/eaten…. But nobody actually buys them to eat, too difficult to eat I hear, so they’re just left to die and rot. A by-product of fishing.

Reminds me of that story of how a business wanted to sell water but the venue banned it to promote more alcohol sells. So what they did instead was charge $1 for a peanut shell and along with it came a free bottle of water.

Are you sure? I mean when you drink alcohol, it interferes with the tastebuds in your balls. I mean, do you not think food after a few drinks taste better? So you gotta try it without being drunk.
