Deep dives
The Dynamic World of Kite Stores and Novelty Items
Kite stores are a unique subculture with a tight-knit community of vendors. These stores sell a variety of products, including kites of different shapes and sizes. Some customers even spend hundreds of dollars on specialty kites. However, kite fighting, a tradition in certain cultures, is done with cheaper kites that have glass embedded in the string. In addition to kites, novelty items like fart spray, liquid ass, and pro-Trump merchandise are also sold in these stores. The store owners have to navigate a balance between the demand for politically themed items and the preferences of their customer base.
