    No one said the scam part was that the elixir didn’t work.

      back in the day news papers were like long tweets.

      it cost extra for more words/characters.

      so they remove/replace ones that didn’t break context. 👈 like I did here. removed 8 words but preserved the idea.

        But just saying “which he named” would be less characters and make more sense

          Maybe a post editor hastily deleted some words?

    He obviously didn’t sell the real stuff but used it for himself. Is there an equivalent to “don’t get high on your own supply”? “Don’t sell away what you need at bay”?

    This is similar to an X-files’s episode plot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeeze_(The_X-Files)

    Highly recommend it :)

      I really loved the x files. From S1 to 6 it was one of the best shows in history.
