Cactus I.D. - Great Walmart find!!

Hey guys! I, unfortunately, was drawn into the Wallyworld for a product that couldn't be had anywhere else...
Having not been there in a while, I went and checked the cactus sections as I routinely do.
Twas fate because I found not the item in which I came, but instead....
I saw these beauties together in one pot!!! For $15!!!!
6 ribs on each one... are they San Pedro???
Thanks!!

All I know is that cactus looks like it might be tripping off itself.

Cereus are dark green, never pale green.

yea when kept in good condition but i have seen them in many different shades from lack of sun and too much sun (which turns cacti a more yellow color)

Wow... i can't believe this... even from Wal-mart...

It's actually kinda funny when you think about it...
The people who buy them for the pretty flowers not knowing they are fake.
Or even funnier, the ones who buy them knowing they are.

Wal-mart is just really shitty and negligent when it comes to their plants. Everything there always appears on the verge of death. But awesome find nonetheless!
