Munchies from marijuana festival fetch $50 online
news-odd-20130819-US-Hempfest-eBay
SEATTLE (AP) — A few eBay users are seeing a money-making opportunity in the free bags of chips that were given out by police over the weekend at Seattle's pot festival known as Hempfest.
An unopened Doritos bag from Hempfest had drawn eight bids by Monday afternoon, pushing the price to $58. One bag listed as "used" was fetching $50.
The nacho-cheese-flavored Doritos were a popular topic surrounding the event because Seattle police distributed them for free along with stickers designed to inform pot consumers about the state's legal pot law.
Officers handed out only 1,000 bags of chips at an event that draws as many as 85,000 people per day.
(the police were handing out Doritos….I can’t get over that image, the cops were handing out free Doritos! The hippie and the conspiracy nut in me are at war right now. The conspiracy nut is winning, what’s in those Doritos?)
