” Did you buy 4D this week?” is officially the most commonly used pick-up line at the coffee shop.

Having overheard coffeeshop uncles’ frequent shoutouts about their 4D winnings, 4D sounded like a great “investment product” to me as a kid.

It was until when I turned legal age to be shading 4D bet slips with the usual Zebra maker, that I realised that it was all a lie.

Of the many times that these coffeeshop uncles gambled on 4D, they only boast about the one time they won.
