YMMV / Improbable Island

• Better Off Sold: Nicotine gum is theoretically intended to treat addiction from overuse of cigarettes. However, you usually have better things to do with your cigs than smoke them for a small buff, so almost nobody ever actually gets addicted, and nicotine gum is essentially only useful to sell. Even after the introduction of cake resulted in the price collapsing^note all your items and req vanish permanently on a drive kill, so players try to spend all their req in preparation, and buying up nicotine gum to inflate the price used to be the usual recommendation — then cake gave people a much more fun outlet for their doomed req the small amount of req is still more valuable than the item's intended use.
