Had to pick between Bigfoot proof or UFO proof at a roadside stand in Oregon

So I'm driving through the Willamette National Forest last month and I see this little wooden booth selling 'conspiracy kits.' The guy running it, Larry, says I can only buy one kit per customer. I had to choose between a packet of Bigfoot hair samples and a jar of 'alien metal shavings.' I went with the hair because it looked more convincing under his magnifying glass. Got home and my buddy Steve who hunts says it's probably just bear fur. Has anyone else ever fallen for a roadside conspiracy trap like this?

Wait, Larry made you pick ONE? That's insane. A jar of alien metal shavings sitting right there and you chose a bag of hair? Man, I would have grabbed the metal in a heartbeat, even if it was just crushed up soda cans from the 90s. At least with metal you can take it to a pawn shop and see if a magnet sticks to it. That hair story is rough though, my cousin fell for something similar in Montana with a 'unicorn horn' that was just a twisted antler. Did you at least get a receipt or a little card with Larry's phone number for a refund?

Honestly man it's just some weird flea market stuff, not like Larry was running some kind of criminal operation over a jar of dust lol. You win some you lose some.

Wait, Larry made you pick ONE item and that was the deal? That's honestly the craziest part of this whole story to me, not even the hair.
