Notice that it is banned in the US under the endangered species act. Nice beachcombing bonanza for the Aussies that found it, though.

I knew ambergis was from whales and that it was valuable, but I had no idea how whales produced it.

There was some political satire show on PBS (?) about 35 years ago that had a group of beach combers finding ambergris, showing them dancing for joy, smearing each other with it, and frolicking in their findings since they were now so rich.

A health inspector comes along and informs them that it was actually toxic waste from an industrial plant a few miles away.

Does anyone else remember this, and what show it was on?

Whale vomit. Nice.

Oh, that reminds me, I'm running low on my jungle-animal feces coffee beans.

I guess you can also just rub a piece of it on your skin for an aphrodisiac effect.
Its probably a good thing human vomit does not cause the same effect.
I'd rather fall into chocolate.
