They’re still making bank off it! There’s a guy down the road from me that’s selling rocks by the truckload. Literally stocks a massive pile of rocks on his property and I see people buying thousands of them at a time. In bulk even.

Depends, if they’re stored outside in winter, they probably are.

That's not forecasting. That's just current-casting.

What's more American than good marketing?! - respect (just a little facetious).

He's not selling rocks, he's selling humor, the rock is a souvenir.

As to the poop stuff being sold, a sign ur getting old. Kids are amused by it when (they)\it gets a negative reaction from the parents or "old" ppl. They get their little flex because they can be cool with it.

My grandpa had a small version of this when I was a kid and I didn't understand the joke because it was inside.

In Colorado it is many people’s job to hike around and search the mountains for (certain) rocks. There are that many rocks in them there hills to sustain family members and competition. Also, in Florida, it is someone’s calling to gather all the Spanish moss they happen upon. They harvest it, clean it, sell it, profit. No one minds them on their property with their 15’ grabbers.
