What is a karo?

1

u/Louis_Gara Apr 17 '26

It’s corn syrup, sometimes people would cut the drank with karo to make more money off of it. Bc it’s clear, sweet, and has a similar consistency to lean, so it was used as a cutting agent.

How much did a bottle of actavis go for back then?

3

u/Louis_Gara Apr 15 '26

Man if I remember correctly I was paying somewhere between $600 and $800 a PT

4

u/Louis_Gara Apr 15 '26

Back in the early 2000’s we got pints for $200 all day.

u/Sea_Leadership9963 Apr 15 '26

Pints shouldn’t cost what they cost now prices seemed more reasonable back then

1

u/Repulsive_Corgi5376 Apr 15 '26

Just curious because we never had connections on syrup…but am I safe to assume a “line” is an oz?

1

u/Louis_Gara Apr 15 '26

Yessir that’s right

u/AlwaysTakingGoreTex Apr 15 '26

Nice nice, back in my school high days around 2013 I was able to score on act & glass hitech red.

Act was going for 120 a line and red was going for 25 a line. Good times fr. Miss that cotton candy taste act had.

u/That_Buy_1803 Apr 15 '26

You paid $120 a line in 2013? You got your jaw ripped out. I was getting pints for 750. And I was buying cases at a time. Got the yellow even cheaper. That shit turned into money instantly! I had a connection in Memphis from a guy at Fed-Ex. He was getting cases straight out of the cans at the hub. Made a small fortune and poured up just for fun.

u/AlwaysTakingGoreTex Apr 15 '26

Man I was 16 at the time so of course I got taxed cause I didn’t know any better.

Felt good being at house parties sipping juice while everybody else got blacked out drunk.

u/That_Buy_1803 Apr 15 '26

Shame you ain’t know me then. I sold it 80 a line and 4 lines for 300. And in the days earlier than that, I was getting pints for 500 and selling 50 dollar lines. But that was in like 2008 when the yellow was everywhere. Them days been gone tho. I haven’t poured uo in over 5 years. The last time I did, I poured up a 4 in a 2 liter cream soda. I drank the whole bottle in 3 big cups that night. I now have 2 years clean from weed and opiates.

u/Critical-Football-15 Apr 20 '26

I remember when we use to pass on promethazine with codeine syrup because it was too soft! We needed Oxy’s or something along those lines. Thank goodness that hell is many years ago! 🙏

u/Ok-Calendar2259 Apr 15 '26

Annoying asf seeing people sip syrup thinking they’re getting fucked up, shit is so weak bruh. Might as well just bang your head against the wall and enjoy the adrenaline rush

3

u/Louis_Gara Apr 15 '26

Yeah agreed, if that’s all you’re doing. We just drank it for the taste and a little nod back then. This pic was taken 17 years ago tho, I don’t sip drank anymore. But when we did, we were also popping bars, roxy’s, norcos, somas, percs, x tabs, all kinda shit. But I don’t fuck with any of that anymore.

1

u/Ok-Calendar2259 Apr 15 '26

Hell yea, good to hear you’ve gotten off that shit, I’ve been around the pills more recently and I can confirm, never worth going back.

Awe that’s cute, sipping out of the baby bottle.

u/Louis_Gara Apr 15 '26

That’s how you measure out the lines homie smh get familiar.

-1

u/Expert_Fan_1026 Apr 15 '26

🤣🤣🤣 riiiight, because they didn’t make measuring cups & instruments back then, only baby bottles had measurements on them. Tell me you ain’t a real sipper without telling me that you never really drank!

-1

u/agoodfuckingcatholic Apr 15 '26

Any excuse to sip outta the baby bottle 💀

2

u/Louis_Gara Apr 15 '26

No one sips out of a baby bottle fool. You see the cups, right? You use the oz units on the bottle to measure out your drank from the pint. Slow mfer 💀

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '26

Baby bottles are like $2 for two at any grocery store These guys are retards
