      I didn't even know they were real, I'm almost 40 and I've never seen one in the wild myself and I've lived here my entire life.

        Lucky. I had an old dude pay with them on the regular at an old job I had circa 2008. He took joy in people being confused by them.

      Old people have been obsessing over "owning the youth" with two dollar bills for decades. Now it's turned to racism? What the hell.
