Sex and the City and Seinfeld tours are big business in New York, so it's no surprise that residents of Albuquerque, New Mexico, are also trying to cash in on the success of their own locally filmed hit TV show.
Only that show is Breaking Bad, a show about meth dealers. But that hasn't stopped local entrepreneurs, NPR reports. A trolley tour company regularly sells out its Breaking Bad Tour of the city's back alleys and set locations. A spa product store sells Bathing Bad bath salts, made in a red cement mixer ("We said, what would meth smell like in spa world?" says the store owner). And a local candy store sells little baggies of blue rock candy made to look like the show's star product.
