I did not expect this much detail on this topic. There were discussions about detergents and such in another thread. And the logic is exactly the same.
Dont ship water.
Comment on Amazon Restricted Vaginal Health Products for Being ‘Potentially Embarrassing’
PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 5 days agoThe funny part is that there’s very little reason to actually buy a barrel of lube. In porn, they just mix their own lube using distilled water (available cheaply from virtually any grocery or hardware store) and a dissolvable powder. There’s not a good reason to ship wet lube in bulk, because freight shipping is calculated by weight and you’re essentially just paying to ship water.
For the curious, look up J-lube, X-lube, K-lube, or Fist Lubricant Powder.

Gotta respect that math, but value might still be possible.
55 gallons of water weighs about 459lbs (208kg), so that barrel is in that range.
Get 10 friends to chip in and order the barrel. Use those 10 friends to lift and leave that barrel somewhere that is highly visible, like the front porch of an ex-wife or ex-husband. Maybe your local police station if you are from a small town?
If that is worth $1,700 to someone, I can’t really say. I have paid more (per pound) for less significant practical jokes before though.
(It would be cheaper to use another barrel, actual water, and just fake the package label though. Real lube would just be for show but it would show that you have great attention to detail.)

You should probably lube the outside after placing it in it’s position as well.

You just gave me an idea for the worlds fastest slip-n-slide, actually.

You better tag me when you make a post here a year from now that you’ve made it into the book of guiness world records. I don’t wanna miss that.

Diddy ain’t gonna mix up his own lube

I suspect the barrel of lube is largely a joke.
