What a lucky guy. Like him, who found a rare W in an M&Ms package:

Everyone gets nice stuff except me. My M&Ms are showing the error code E.
- Mine are all expiring on the third, but it doesn't say which month
No, he found a misplaced one intended for the Russian market, their famous Щ&Щи
- Duo staring threateningly around the corner
  No, that's a japanese yama 山 👀

Related note: a lot of salvaged brick is stolen. Old rust belt cities like Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, etc. have so many abandoned brick buildings. People set fire to the building to collapse the wooden supports, and when the mortar holding the bricks together is heated by the fire, the pressure of the hose from responding firefighters helps flake it off and clean the brick. Then people show up a few days later, grab all of the undamaged bricks from the rubble, and sell it to unscrupulous distributors who flip it for a premium on new developments looking for that expensive aged brick look.

Glad someone’s getting a portion of that property’s value back to circulating in the economy if there are so many abandoned buildings. Like fungus eating fallen trees, returning nutrients to the soil.
- Sure, if you think it's better to strip old buildings of value to make wealthy brick buyers happy instead of repurposing those old buildings for the public good of underserved communities.
- They're intentionally setting the buildings on fire to achieve that though. That's seriously dangerous.
- Dude, they are committing arson…
  Firefighters and other people have died in fires from abandoned buildings.
  Arson is never okay, it’s dangerous and can kill people
TIL burnt-down-then-scrapped-for-pennies-by-the-poor brick buildings are the stone-washed jeans of the architectural world.
