Isn't funny how these videos pop up?
I was stuck on my phone for several months while my home was being remodeled. I learned all sorts of "odd things".


I think I heard of that before.

The African civet has historically been hunted for the secretion of perineal glands. This secretion is a white or yellow waxy substance called civetone, which has been used as a basic ingredient for many perfumes for hundreds of years.[5] In Ethiopia, African civets are hunted alive, and are kept in small cages. Most die within three weeks after capture, most likely due to stress. Extraction of the civetone is cruel and has been criticised by animal rights activists.[39]

I got a 1-pound bag of Brazil nuts in the shell for 99 cents, on clearance. I put some in a dish on my patio, for the squirrels and other animals that live in the area, and when they sat untouched, I cracked them and tossed them out into the yard. At that point, the birds did eat them.
That's a great deal! Where I live one pound of Brazil nuts are $20.00 The squirrels are getting any of them.

They were short-dated and the store was trying to get them out the door.

Selling at Flea Markets.... or ....?
The passenger also stated in the past she had used moose feces to make a necklace at her home in Iowa...'
( I wonder if she sells this kind of stuff at flea markets?)
snipped for focus @Friday Fan Thx for your post & link.

More profitable for her to sell moose turds to one of those woo-woo "wellness" products outfits?

To use, say, in an exfoliator scrub?

ETA.
Tagline: It's an all natural foot scrub!
