    The people behind this are a real (if silly) student organization at UChicago and Northwestern campaigning for the legalization of onion futures trading. Sometimes they will aggressively hand out free onions to passerby on campus. It's quite entertaining.

    They have a website also: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onionfutures.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;onionfutures.org

      Hi! I&#x27;m the proprietor of onionfutures.com. I&#x27;m actually not a member of UChicago for Our Futures and came up with the idea independently, but we&#x27;ve since connected and they handle our Chicago deliveries.

        Are you really charging $9&#x2F;onion? I get upset when Safeway charges $2&#x2F;lb when I can get onions for a quarter that price.
