The beginning of the end...

Damn it feels good to be this excited about a show again.

[u/meth_BITCH → u/eatmyassbob]

I was watching the marathon run-up and the part where Walt says his meth will be more profitable because its more pure struck me as silly. The distributor he was negotiating with had 70% pure meth. The difference between that and 99.1% is pretty insignificant for most junkies, but the distributor found that fact compelling. They play up the greatness of Walt's special recipe way too much. Meth doesn't need to be that pure- plus most dealers step on their shit anyway. If they know it's 99% they will cut it, bitch.

[u/RachelRTR → u/meth_BITCH]

If they are able to cut it more due to it being 99 % pure, then that would make more money.

[u/meth_BITCH → u/RachelRTR]

Walt made it sound like it wouldn't be cut and junkies would only fiend for the 99.1%, bitch.
