If there’s one commodity we don’t talk about enough on The Consumerist, it’s Erythroxylum coca. This was brought squarely to our attention after Bucky told us about a white van circulating the streets of Harlem, promoting crack.

Mr. Crack.

Bobby Paige has a message of love and hope, communicated through the black words on the side which say things like, “Drugs support terrorists” and “You smoke crack you will be homeless.”

It’s all part of a well-constructed PR campaign to promote his new book, “Mr. Crack,” which you can read all about on his website located at MrCrack.net.

We heart NYC, so very much.
