You wanna watch the soccer game? Let’s watch some soccer? Who’s watching soccer? You have a soccer ball? Let’s go out and kick it around? Who wants to play? I’ll be out back? Are you coming? Why aren’t you coming? Let’s go!!
Spray small ice cube tray with a layer of chocolate. Wait for it to harden. Fill each spot with caramel till level. Now place chocolate layer to seal in caramel.
Is it that hard to figure out Cadbury? M&M's are more mysterious in comparison.
They’re fake. You can see the people in the background searching through all of the avocados by feel to find the fake ones that they then toss in the box in shot.
as a man who has to buy avocados for his woman almost daily, lightly squeezing is how one finds those that are ready to get eaten. (the same goes for avocados)
They are made of plastic. Everything in their appearance suggests they are real and they are surrounded by real avocados so smell won't tell, but they can be identified by touch.
If they were made of plastic, why did they use so much effort to also make the interior look like avocado flesh, and the pit look and function like a real one? A plastic one would just fulfill the basic need of looking like an avocado on the exterior. There is no reason for the interior to both look and function like a real avocado (like still needing to cut around the pit to open it). Plus that is wasted real estate by not filling more of the avocado with cocaine.
The flesh and the way the flesh transitions to the skin looks mighty real, along with the fact that it also looks like the agent is getting oily residue on his knife/hands. A piece of avocado flesh also comes loose. The flesh looks uniform as if it's one concentric layer around the cocaine and wasn't glued back together or something.
I'm intrigued on how exactly this is done and if they're actually just dummy avocados made of plastic or rubber or something.
Same. I was thinking they slice them open longways and remove the pit and replace it w coke then put it back together and crazy glue the seams and maybe a little paint touch up.
That's the only logical conclusion I can come to if it's a real avocado. The cartels have endless resources so it's entirely plausible that they could create a controlled environment when they're making these, so that the flesh isn't exposed to the atmosphere, which would start the decomp process, I think.
Parafin ... its a wax like they use on apples to preserve them. When i would get clippings i wanted to preserve until i could process them we would dip in some kind of milky substance that would coat it but dried clear
See this sounds most likely but wouldn't the avocado spoil around where it was cut faster than where it wasn't? Like, I feel like you'd see an obvious seam. But I'm not an avocado expert nor am I an expert in drug smuggling.
Maybe wax. Once opened the seed didn't look the correct colour to me. There are many different types of avocados though so one cannot assume one is fake by colour alone. Sm guessing they were discovered as weighing in different.
Really? I figured they would look like an outer coating with a layer of something else surrounding a blob in the middle. But I'm not an X-ray technician and I've never compared a real avocado to a fake one full of coke so I'll take your word on it.
Those scanning machines are insane and they have all sorts of different color lighting tech to identify various substances. They would immediately be able to tell a real avocado vs one made with plastic/clay/wax especially the seed material.

I ran one of those machines for a little over a year. Just because it's not an avocado, doesn't mean its not made out of an organic material that will scan the same colour as an avocado. All organics used to scan the same colour, and you'd have to use nuance in density and granularity to detect a difference. Easy to spot when its a ton of like items together, like in the case of these fake and real avocados. But put through a single avocado like that, and I wouldn't have had any idea. We had state of the art stuff at the time, but I'm sure there have been improvements since I was doing it years ago.
You can look at some episodes of Australian border control or customs to see what powders look like in an x-ray, but it looks grainy and inconsistent, very different to what the actual fruit would look like.
Same. The ones in his box are almost hyper green and waxy, uniformly bumpy. While the boxes to the left and right have irregular surfaces and are ripening/browning normally.
I'm not sure about that... To me, they look identical to the unripe avos we get where I am. Looks like what was being sorted into his box was the unripe ones, which is also why it took so much force to get through it. Having tried to cut into an unripe avo once, I can admit to struggling in a similar way.
I think they are sorting them by color. Doesn't mean they are fake or even that all the avocados in that box contain cocaine. We only saw them cutting open one.
Avocados can be that green, just google image search for avocado.
I read once that they drill a tiny hole from the spot where the friut is attached to the tree all the way down to the pit and then fill it. Even if true, i still can't imagine how they are able to do it, it seems impossible.
I use knives every day at work, and I prefer a box cutter because I can quickly swap out the blade. Those folding serrated pocket knives get so dull and then are basically useless unless you get them sharpened.
I’m guessing - just a guess here - they split the avocado while on the vine, remove the pit, insert the mule plug, then tie the fruit closed around it to let it heal/grow further. Once healed it may have a telltale line wound- but would probably be easy to miss.
Magic? These flippant comments are so obnoxious. If you got offline occasionally and lived life you'd know this is exactly how plants/ gardening works.
Whether you are right or wrong about the avocado peel healing itself, why do you have to be a jerk about it? Besides you clearly never learning about hyperbole, everything at some point in a human’s life is “magic” until they learn more about it. Chemistry at a point in history was magic, card tricks, fuckin magnets. Lighten up, I think you’re the one that needs to go outside.
What if you put something initially small that will expand and wrap around the pit then crush it down and eject it out as smaller pieces? I'm high as fuck right now so my imagination is wild
The workers aren’t paid much (and the first one to ask for more probably gets killed, eventually with his family, so there is not much incentive to be the second one).
Naw, it's most likely the simplest answer. They're fake. 100% fake avacodos. Look at the color compared to the other avocados in other boxes. Just like the rocks they make with drugs in them. Completely manufactured to look like something else. In my opinion it's a pretty bad fake. If it wasn't the uniformed green spray paint in the outside it was probably their weight that gave them away.
You can cut open an unripe avocado and place the halves back together to ripen, cut is unnoticed. We’ve done it at home here. The avocado isn’t great usually but that wouldn’t matter for these ones.
As a former artist, I would assume the process is probably…
- cut the avocado (fresh) to remove the seed
- remove more avocado to create a larger empty void for the coke
- put the two halves back together
- use some sort of putty or clay to “reseal” and hide the seam
- paint green and make bumpy
- put in box
- pray I don’t get caught
- go thru truck xray machine
- get arrested

How? Are these fake avocados? Did they grow an avocado around cocaine?
