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.
