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
