          That’s a different story. This one is about that time Russia/USSR paid pepsi with old military equipment to get around sanctions. I think they couldn’t actually receive it because they’re not allowed to have that but it’s a funny story regardless. I think someone already posted the link

            It was old equipment, so pretty much just scrap value.

        Why is it gross?

        I guess because beef spoils easily, and many of us don’t find the bribe givers and takers in our lives to be the most conscientious people we know.

        There’s a good chance it’s fine for everyone involved, but also a good chance that it’s not.
