Speaker 2: commons said they would sell out instantly if they really

119
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: made them. People would one hundred percent go for it.

120
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 4: We could do an egg and biscuit pop tart.

121
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: All right, okay, we'll move on from this.

122
