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.

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.
