Cops Now Have World’s Greatest Coke

Hey, the Philadelphia police made a big cocaine bust on April Fool’s Day! The narcs got 300 kilos of cocaine and have claimed it’s worth $22 million.

The average coke price in a metro area like Philadelphia is $25-30 grand per kilo of coke. (Cocaine, like soda, is measured in metric.)

The cops are therefore claiming an incredible $73 grand per kilo, which means they totally have the purest cocaine ever. Or the $22 million the cops are claiming is just moon money, and, really, who cares? But why not go higher. “The cops seized a kilo of cocaine today worth a hillion jillion dollars. Now none of you kids go into selling drugs to make all this money!”

Update: The teevee says it’s actually $28 million worth of coke! No word if this is correct, but it’s just as correct as the original number, so who cares.

No fooling. Cops seize $22 million of cocaine [Inquirer]
