  1. Yo! That floated a LONG way from where I dropped it!

  2. Donald Trump Jr. is going to be very upset about this.

  3. Somebody somewhere is getting killed for that ๐Ÿ˜†

  4. love how the bags had a 3 leaf clover on it haha maybe if it was a 4 leaf one maybe they would have had some luck on their side lol

  5. Oh man, imagine finding all that delicious cocaine!

  6. Blow to the cocaine cartel? Please don't make me laugh, those guys are moving money and stashing huge piles of cash in south american jungles with caterpillars, digging holes big enough to fit a fleet of school buses…
    The "war on drugs" is a joke.

  7. I am glad it did not reach it's destination.

  8. "Delt a significant blow"
    Lol
    They litterly have so much they can just throw it in the ocean and hope the currents take it thousands of miles to a destination.

  9. somebody's head gonna roll down down down the stream!! This is sad day for the cartel

  10. Cocaine Shark, a spin-off to Cocaine Bear. Lol

  11. There's this movie coming out in late February in the United States called Cocaine Bear. This recovery just gave us a bunch of sequels for that movie.

    Cocaine Shark
    Cocaine Dolphin
    Cocaine Killer Whale
    Cocaine Squid

  12. But it's about how much Hunter Biden goes through in a week.

  13. Imagine youโ€™re floating at seaโ€ฆ

  14. Looks like New Zealand about party all year long like a rock star lmaoooo

  15. Well played for the kiwi cop having a dig at the bogan aussies who would do enough coke in one year to satisfy the kiwis for 30 ๐Ÿ˜‚

  16. Haka will be a little less intense for a while.

  17. you guys are fools.. not only was this absolutely nothing to their overall wealth, it was probably just a dummy distraction to keep you window lickers distracted while the REAL delivery took place.. but you know.. pat yourselves on the back..

  18. What a waste USA that last about 6 mouths.

  19. Spy ballon was a cartel drop off ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  20. This is a common way of smuggling drugs in the Pacific region. Drug dealers would dump the drugs into the ocean with a tracker and the receiver would locate and recover the drugs.

  21. Yeah,about that. I'm gonna need that back.

  22. Four leaf clover, hmmmm I wonder where that came from, who likes 4 leaf clovers???? What a mystery.

  23. New movie …Cocain Shark…..
