Dime bag and baggies? Ernie from Sesame Street will tell you

There’s no denying that Sesame Street taught my ABCs and my 123s, how to make friends, and showed me that bath time with rubber ducky is great.

Sesame Street scriptwriters have been subtly adding adult humor into the show since 1969, and watching reruns just made me realize how many jokes I missed out on as a kid. This particular sketch was about Lefty, a shady looking salesman who goes around selling esoteric items like the number 8 to Ernie.

and then begins his sales pitch: “How would ya like to buy…”

When saying an eighth in weed terms, an eighth is an eighth of an ounce — or 3 1/2 grams of weed. The eighth is one of the most popular weight to sell cannabis.

The unit of measurements to purchacing weed most commly used is grams, along side the imperial units.

Their witty and creative sketches have entertained not just kids, but adults that are obligated to watch them – It was no surprise that the show had a long-lasting run.
