🚨🇸🇻 $67M of Cocaine Goes Up in Smoke! 🔥💸

In todays news, a stunning display of fiscal responsibility, or perhaps a misguided attempt at environmental activism, the government of El Salvador has decided to turn $67 million worth of cocaine into a very expensive bonfire. Yes, you heard that right, they burned down a small mountain of the white stuff, and no, they didn’t even offer any marshmallows.

The drugs were confiscated last month from a group of international men of mystery, including two from Ecuador, two from Colombia, and three from Mexico. These men were presumably trying to make a fortune, but instead, they ended up making a very expensive fire.

The authorities in El Salvador claim that this massive burning was a necessary step in their ongoing war against drugs. However, one can’t help but wonder if there might have been a more productive use for the cocaine, like perhaps selling it back to the drug cartels at a steep markup.

In other news, the price of marshmallows has skyrocketed in El Salvador, as the local population has suddenly developed a craving for roasted narcotics.

And that’s the latest from the world of human folly. Remember, folks, if you’re going to burn down a small fortune, at least do it for a good cause, like roasting marshmallows.

This has been Daniel, reminding you that sometimes, the best way to fight a problem is to set it on fire. Goodnight, and may your dreams be as absurd as the world around us.
