No money in it, kids being light on income.

Such packaging is a joke aimed at older people. It may be in poor taste, but lots of jokes are.

They shouldn't really have been selling it, though. In New York it's legal to possess the stuff, but a license is required to sell it, and nobody has one yet.

This is just a small-time cop-shop showing off not just how industrious it is, but how stupid its people are as well.
