Er, I mean Florida Woman
A woman claims to make $200 a day by selling positive pregnancy tests on Craigslist.
The Florida woman said she sells the tests to help pay for her college tuition. The woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, says she got the idea while searching for jobs to do while pregnant.
“$200 in a day off, something I have to do no matter what,” she told WJAX-TV. “Me being in college working on a bachelor’s and needing all this money to pay for a degree, this was a no-brainer.”
She charges $30 per test and never asks the buyers any questions.
The Daily Dot discovered the positive pregnancy test trend in 2013. It interviewed a Buffalo woman who said she sold them for $25 apiece, which at the time, was considered pricey.
The ad read as follows: “Positive Pregnancy Test! – $25 (Buffalo, NY) Yes, you saw that right! I am selling positive pregnancy tests! Ever since I became pregnant, I have been asked numerous times for a positive test, so I decided to start charging for it!” reads a listing in the Salon article. “I will take the test the same day you to pick it up! I don't care what you use it for, not my business!)”
The Independent did a quick Craigslist search for pregnancy tests in New York, which yielded nine ads for positive pregnancy tests and urine ranging from $25-$40.
“No questions asked. Serious inquires only. Contact me regarding any questions or concerns,” one read.

Florida man and his sons charged with selling toxic chemical as a coronavirus cure.
https://lite.cnn.com/en/article/h_f0a45c51f5c7440c37015449c3e7d9bcA Florida man and his three sons are facing criminal charges for allegedly selling a toxic solution to tens of thousands of people as a cure for Covid-19.
Mark Grenon, 62, and his sons, Jonathan, 34, Joseph, 32, and Jordan, 26, all of Bradenton, Florida, supposedly manufactured, promoted, and sold "Miracle Mineral Solution" (MMS), a chemical solution containing sodium chlorite and water, the criminal complaint affidavit says.
The men sold the toxic bleach under the guise of Genesis II Church of Health and Healing, an entity they allegedly created in an attempt to avoid government regulation, the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida said in a statement.
They've been charged with criminal contempt, conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for their alleged actions, the US Attorney's Office said.
