        I was about to say, who would ever brand their cocaine, whether it was actually SpaceX or some random cartel? I would get the “brand identification” argument at the end user stage, but marking your bulk shipment of drugs just seems dumb.

      It’s real. I used to buy Nike brand ecstasy all the time.

      If you have a Nike store in your town, I recommend you go in and ask for the triple stacks.
