I recently found out the Google shopping tab tells you where certain products are stock. I wanted to check if a local supermarket had Haagen Daz strawberries & cream and one of the searches brought up an eBay listing for a refurbished carton Confused

I clicked to have a looked and notice the seller had other strange refurbished items referring to them as secret stash. What do you think?

Depends what you stash in them?

My first thought drug dealer, then when I looked at the photos I thought maybe they’re them selling as holiday hideaway containers. If you’re on beach and go for a swim your keys or phone will be safe in a deodorant bottle.

Yeah, i think they could have some innocent uses to hide a bit of cash or keys in if needed. I also expect that teens might use them to hide cigarettes etc.

Very odd. Who’d pay nearly a tenner for an empty carton, when you could get a full one for less and then eat the ice cream first!

I work in event security and have seen similar items to those used to smuggle in drugs and alcohol.

I could see the toothpaste tube being useful to hide cash if you lived in a flat share with people you couldn't trust. The icecream wouldn't be helpful as most flatmates I've had would probably take it to eat and find a bonus!

I used a fake book like this in a house share in uni Grin not drugs just emergency cash and condoms

My thoughts exactly 🤣

It's a front for something sexual judging by their other items.

Those little containers inside the items look like they contain weed.

Oops typo in my last message.

Exactly as Bimbly says why pay more than double for empties?

It’s got an inner for hiding things I think? It’s not a front, it says what it is, for hiding money, drugs, jewellery, whatever.
