    How the fuck are you supposed to sell black market cheese anyways?

    Some sketchy guy in the Home Depot parking lot?

    “Hey kid, you want some artisanal cheese?”

      You can reintroduce into the supply chain through a distributor. This has organized crime written all over it.

      You slide a 50 in a mailslot, and a bike carrier makes a clandestine wedge drop to you in the park

    Not sure about the UK, but I think the price of cheese in Australia is highway robbery. Does that count?

      The price of every-fucking-thing in Australia is highway robbery … and that highway is a toll road too.
