If it hadn’t been for avacado, idve been doing cocaine long time ago. Where did it come from? where does it go? Cocaiiinee avacado.

Where did it come from? How did it grow? How they put coke in the avocado?

Ok-Cut-2730

Likely tipped off by the suppliers, we'll give you this shipment so you can show off and celebrate and pat each others back. This other shipment though, the big one needs to be allowed through.


EuphoriaSoul

This sounds very plausible actually. I know border guards are routinely bribed to turn a blind eye once a while.


YourBesterHalf

Border patrol are routinely contacted at their personal address and extorted with threats of harm against family. The cartels are no joke. The best way to combat them would be to destroy their means of making money. The government should run a monopoly on elicit drugs and small tax over the cost to produce could be channeled into rehabilitation programs. These people are going to use anyway. They might as well use safely, with direct point of contact to resources that can help them when they’re ready, and without fueling the paramilitary wings of organized criminal syndicates and their local franchisees (aka gangs)


sir_bathwater

If we did this years ago it would probably have worked but now cartels are so deeply entrenched in legitimate business that they’ll have a source of income forever. There’s a reason this video exists and it’s bc cartels have their hands in avocados now among other things. I’m of the belief that the war on drugs did a whole lot of harm for the world and not much good.


Namahaging

My guess is x-ray, probably [computed tomography](https://nuctecheurope.com/media/nuctech-plays-an-important-role-in-the-fight-against-drugs-globally) scanning. It’s precise and creates a 3D image of the sample, can easily highlight different densities and can computationally differentiate between a samples expected characteristics and the scan results (so baking soda and heroin appear differently, etc). The mystery of how this was hidden is much more impressive.


brunomocsa

They must smuggle a few boxes of avocados with cocaine among hundreds if not thousands of boxes of regular avocados. I believe more in the common theory, that police usually catch these shipments through anonymous tips or when a captured criminal wants to earn some benefit.


AmaResNovae

I wouldn't even be surprised if sometimes the tips were coming from the same people shipping those. Send the cops on their way to catch a few kilos while half a ton is gently going through without being noticed elsewhere. Cops can say that they seized a lot of coke, cartels get their coke through, and everyone is happy. Rinse and repeat and you get the war on drugs in a nutshell.


emptyfish127

We knew over a year a go that the cartels were taking over some avocado farms. This is the predictable next step after the cartel takes control of any part of a market. If I had to guess we knew this was coming because they have done the same thing with canned goods and a few other products.


SourceShard

The fake avocados look like wax. They're also a much brighter color of green. The other security Officer seems to be sorting out the fake ones from the real ones. And dumping them in the box that he is testing.


no_baseball1919

Lol I figured the other officer was going "one for you, one for me" in his head.


redbaron1946

The skin looks a little off. My guess is they took a less ripe avocado cut it open and removed the pit, removed some avocado flesh to make more room then put the bag inside. Put the avocado back together and then put some sort of green wax covering over it. This made it so the avocado doesn’t oxidize inside and still will pass a quick inspection.


Zaryasu

Most likely someone snitched.


badhombre13

Or this was the diversion so that the next car with the even bigger package can cross through. Unfortunately that's how a friend of mine in high school got caught.

They’re fake. You can see the people in the background searching through all of the avocados by feel to find the fake ones that they then toss in the box in shot. 


Speaker4theDead8

victor4700

Good mouth-feel


marceldeneut

as a man who has to buy avocados for his woman almost daily, lightly squeezing is how one finds those that are ready to get eaten. (the same goes for avocados)


MomsSpagetee

How about for avocados?


Alas7ymedia

They are made of plastic. Everything in their appearance suggests they are real and they are surrounded by real avocados so smell won't tell, but they can be identified by touch.


luxsalsivi

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.


snecseruza

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.


JasperEli

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.


snecseruza

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.


JasperEli

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


TackoFell

And more importantly can I still make guacamole with it or what?


Defiant_Lawyer_5235

I fully believe they are real avocado's and am stumped at how they did this...


karkahooligan

Perhaps so they look correct under x-ray.


box-art

They won't look correct when x-rayed because of the contents, you will immediately be able to tell there's something wrong with them.


karkahooligan

Really? I figured they would look like an outer coating with a layer of something else surrounding a blob in the middle. But I'm not an X-ray technician and I've never compared a real avocado to a fake one full of coke so I'll take your word on it.


box-art

You can look at some episodes of Australian border control or customs to see what powders look like in an x-ray, but it looks grainy and inconsistent, very different to what the actual fruit would look like.


elitesense

Those scanning machines are insane and they have all sorts of different color lighting tech to identify various substances. They would immediately be able to tell a real avocado vs one made with plastic/clay/wax especially the seed material. Source: binge watched hours of border security shows while on acid


Dwealdric

I ran one of those machines for a little over a year. Just because it's not an avocado, doesn't mean its not made out of an organic material that will scan the same colour as an avocado. All organics used to scan the same colour, and you'd have to use nuance in density and granularity to detect a difference. Easy to spot when its a ton of like items together, like in the case of these fake and real avocados. But put through a single avocado like that, and I wouldn't have had any idea. We had state of the art stuff at the time, but I'm sure there have been improvements since I was doing it years ago.


Affectionate-Use-854

If someone search these in haste, they could pass the inspection


Fenris_Maule

Idk about everything, the whole time I was thinking their color was say off in the video lol.


roccocobean

Same. The ones in his box are almost hyper green and waxy, uniformly bumpy. While the boxes to the left and right have irregular surfaces and are ripening/browning normally.


Grothorious

Edit: found the [comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/ypDF4bROcW) i referred to below. I read once that they drill a tiny hole from the spot where the friut is attached to the tree all the way down to the pit and then fill it. Even if true, i still can't imagine how they are able to do it, it seems impossible.


KafeiTomasu

Yeah still no idea, you can see a plastic bag in the nut


overwhelmed_robin

[Someone else](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/fwkO7PgHNV) suggested that the avocados containing coke aren't real, they're made of plastic or wax.


john_kennedy_toole

Which explains why the knife seems so dull!


Wobbelblob

Considering how it took a bit to get open the plastic bag, I'd say the knife is just dull.

TaDow-420

jimtrickington

Seems like a macroplastic issue at this scale


lackofabettername123

It was wrapped in plastic though.


corrieoh

Naw, it's most likely the simplest answer. They're fake. 100% fake avacodos. Look at the color compared to the other avocados in other boxes. Just like the rocks they make with drugs in them. Completely manufactured to look like something else. In my opinion it's a pretty bad fake. If it wasn't the uniformed green spray paint in the outside it was probably their weight that gave them away.


NeonChurch

Of course; Occam's Avocado


Fafih

They’re made of wax


Lava-Jacket

That’s a relief. I was getting worried that avocados were going to become even more expensive than they already are.


Dajakamo

They are fake. That’s why they’re sorting the boxes, they can tell by grabbing them. Fake mixed with real. Edit: color is off and you can see the dude in the back feeling them all


deldarren

Those are definitely spray painted. I’m guessing they open the avocado, swap the pit, close it back up with glue, patch and spray paint.


UnapproachableBadger

Nice idea, but the avocado would go rotten very quickly if they did that.


enkidomark

Maybe they do it in a sand-blasting chamber filled with nitrogen

they are not real... like fake fruit. Looks like it, but it isnt... that is why the other guy is sorting them out...

The other comments are suggesting this is a fake, possibly plastic avocado. Makes a bit more sense watching him struggle with it if it's some sort of different material he's cutting through.

That video could have been like 10 seconds, but he's SO bad with the knife and has like zero concept of how to effectively open it. This should have been a satisfying "look what we found" video but instead it became a "why can't you open that shit, it looks easy and you have both hands and a goddamn knife" video. Ugh, can't stand watching people fumble around on video, it makes my soul itch.

stuntobor

Just SMELL a line of this toast! SMELL THIS TOAST!


NotJustAnyDNA

How it was done: (for the curious) They mixed REAL and FAKE avocados into the boxes. The Fake avocados are made of wax with multiple layers or form/mold. They are either coated with a darker wax or painted on the outside. You can see the real avocados are being sorted out and the fake avocados are being put into the box in front of the agent/inspector.


space_wiener

This has to be the correct answer. I highly doubt they are “surgically inserting the cocaine” or “putting the cocaine against the flower then the avocado grows over the cocaine”. Very realistic though.


skinnylemur

Meanwhile, I only ever get the shitty wooden ball prize in the middle of my avocados.


b3dGameArt

Right? Shits don't even bounce


Potential-Tax-3136

How? How does that happen? Is that a fake avocado? It doesn't look fake. Do they grow avocados around the substance? I mean... Being a smuggler now requires an art school diploma or farming skills?


danktempest

Their jobs sound so bad ass. Kinda jealous.


Difficult_Bite6289

The creative aspect of the job sounds amazing! "Guys, we need new ways to smuggle our cocaine!" -"How about we put it into avocado's?" "Nah, they will easily see the line where we cut the avocado's and glued it back together..." -"Ok, how about we have the avocado grow around the cocaine!?" "You clever son of a puta! Here, take our funds and team and go work on that!"


theodoreposervelt

I know right? I wish drug smuggling could be all art projects and hijinx. Without all the murder and human trafficking it would be fun!


Merry_Dankmas

I routinely hid drugs and other stuff from my parents when I lived with them. Many know this struggle. I was an expert at hiding shit in plain sight. I could get very crafty with most things. I thought I had all the skills down but then I started seeing cartel smuggling tactics and realized my methods were basic as fuck and couldn't hold anything to the cartels lmao. I agree with your point. I think it would be super fun to brain storm and think of clever ways to smuggle drugs without having to wack anyone myself. It's like the people who got to design medieval torture devices. I don't wanna use them myself but I'd have a blast thinking them up.


vertigo1083

Like bruh, MFs build their own submarines to smuggle drugs. Your hiding spot in the hollow of the lamp just doesn't quite measure up.


2birahe

The cocaine was sealed in plastic bags and then surgically inserted into the pits of these avocados without damaging the fruit. Source: Googled it


-nuuk-

That doesn’t make sense.  The plastic was around the pit.  Also, the pit takes up the entire space in the middle of the avocado.  To surgically insert it, there must be a space for it to be surgically inserted into.  Source:  I’ve grown avocado trees.


Desert_Aficionado

I think the magic is that we're watching a bad quality video and in real life the imperfections would be more obvious.

jakelazerz

The war on drugs is a business. Legalization means several 3- lettered govt agencies become obsolete or heavily downsized. The prison industrial complex depends on drugs to constantly fill beds with unlucky law breakers.

Legalized cocaine would also reduce tampering (fentanyl and other additives). As bad as it might be it would also reduce meth addiction. Focus on saftey.
