That's how young mothers fed their families when I lived in Cojutepeque, El Salvador, 50+ years ago: plying the streets with platters of street food (platters balanced on head). The Bum Bum cream supposedly addresses wrinkles and is the new tween sensation. There is a whole line of Brazilian face creams, etc. -- this is one of them.

Good question. Maybe they team up and buy as a group? Or they use parental credit cards, venmo, etc etc. Needs must...

Bum Bum cream does sound a bit nutty. Pistachios?
