Imperial Times 8/8/330 "YIP PRODUCTION TO CEASE"

YIP PRODUCTION TO CEASE

By: Luca kohl

 

Since its introduction in 275AFG, Yip has been a staple recreational drug for the citizens of the Empire. Popular in both Northie and Southie circles, the mood altering chemical seemed to have cemented itself within modern culture in the 55 years of its existence.

 

But with the fuel shortages ongoing in not just the Empire, but across dictoria, it was only a matter of time before the Empire’s favorite after work enhancer was to be affected.

 

Yesterday on Edsuary 7th, during a press statement, Starkly Pharmaceuticals CEO Alex Starkly (son of SP founder Otto Starkly) stated that the “Dissolvable plastic capsules” needed to produce Yip are no longer available.

 

This was following the mysterious halting of Yip production just a week ago which rose Yip prices by 15% as people feared the worst. Now that the worse is realized, a sharp spike in Yip is bound to be seen. Some economists say as 200% increase in price is to be expected.

Some theories speculate that the sudden shortage of food grade plastic may be the result of a military stockpile of available Oil. We reached out to Governor Rasch but he unfortunately declined to comment on the situation.
