    1. If their demographic were 5 yr olds, it’d read “whale throw up” 🍺🤮👍 and at a rate of $7,707 USD/1LB,
      94.79 LBS would easily net $732,244 USD. That’s a lot of gumballs!

      $732,244 USD

  1. Comes from the intestines, it’s not vomit…more like 💩 in my opinion, but what do I know. If it’s floating in the ocean, what’s the big deal. Just a waste product.

  2. Its called Ambergris not whale vomit. Do you mave your headlines for five year Olds?
