Here’s how this works:
At least one of these is a real listing on Etsy. At least one of these was completely invented by us.
The question is, which is the Etsy, and which is the Regretsy?

5. ECO-CONSCIOUS ORAMGE PEEL CITRUS VOTIVES
YOUR GUESSES:

AND THE ANSWER IS…
6. HULK HOGAN DRAWING
YOUR GUESSES:
“Bronc drew it and cropped out more of the spiral binding than he did on the Kevin Dillon sketch, but I’m sure it’s Bronc’s work.”
