Lesley's Loot

It’s interesting that this illicit trade prints symbols on their packets. Each one conveying it’s own meaning and this one’s of no exception. Some of you are familiar with the three wise monkeys; hear no evil, see no evil and say no evil which relates back to Japanese philosophy. Today though it’s meaning can also be seen in an opposite way; so instead of keeping with your moral principles of avoiding evil and helping you lead a steady path of staying pure you seek out all that is bad such as hearing harmful words, looking at terrible imagery and spreading words maliciously with immoral intent. What ever images these packets convey they’ll always adopt some negative side because after all they’re doing harm by selling these drugs.   

This little packet with cannabis leaf printed on it once contained drugs.

Looking into the past to create something new is another way of making a fresh start and there’s no better example than this find. Remember those western movies, where the cowboys chewed tobacco instead of smoking it? This activity stemmed from the native Americans and was later adopted by the new settlers ever since Christopher Columbus landed there. So here we have it ,nicotine pouches. These act like chewing gum as they come in different flavours except they contain nicotine. Once the pouches loose their effect and flavour they’re then placed conveniently back within the container in a separate compartment from the fresh supply which is a rather neat idea at preventing street litter.  

Do you really believe that? Well trust is at it’s all time low, so much so I wouldn’t feel safe checking out this QR code, it’ll probably link to some sort of scam!  

This toy contains one of those poppers (look back and you’ll find this little fidgeting gadget popping plaything, which explains how they work) a rubbishy type toy so why do Ferrero, chocolatiers, the makers of this product, produce them? Toy inside a chocolate; it’s a bonus isn’t it; you don’t just get the edible treat but a toy too.

  Another tie, this one’s been personalised with a name tag. 

This pink pig, if squeezed, will make a horrible honking noise which is a delight for any energetic dog but also a great source of enjoyment for it’s owner as pooch scurries around after it’s squeaky play mate.    

A sweet furry giraffe perched on railing waiting patiently to be picked up by it’s owner. Who incidentally never comes as after a couple of days I decided to take him home with me. Now he sits in my inbox of finds waiting to be photographed in amongst other lost things. Then he’ll be release back onto the streets.

This key rings announcing a trip to Ibiza. The Volkswagen camper van is the iconic form of transport accompanying holiday trips. You can sleep and cook in one of these vehicles as it’s perfect for touring in just the right size for all the family.
