Drugs or Candy?
 

Police: Hershey Candy Looks Like Drugs , Police: Hershey's New Mint Candy Looks Like Street Drugs - CBS News

Silly candy company.

I thought this was going to be a poll.

And besides, "a child familiar with the candy could mistakenly swallow a heat-sealed bag of drugs"... Yeah, totally the manufacturer's fault. Nothing to do with the environment their parents have stuck them in.

I wouldn't say those look exactly the 'heat-sealed bags used to sell illegal powdered drugs,' but it's still an extremely moronic method of selling mints. Maybe it'll confuse crackheads enough into buying the candy instead of drugs!

Their next marketing scheme is going to be candy-flavored crack. Whee!

Not me. I'll take the drugs.

I have to admit, even though that they aren't exactly the same, you would think the company would at least try to avoid those kinds of parallels. Sounds like my Ex-girlfriend though. She would never let me have Popeye sticks because they looked just like cigarettes. Ummm, yes, I am 19 years old and I am going to start smoking because I eat Popeye sticks....

My nose is acting weird when I see this

This is the kind of thing that you're supposed to laugh about, not freak out and petition to have it removed from the market. Christ, don't these people realize that ultimately no one will mistake it for crack? I mean, if you're ever staring at the packet separated from the packaging and it could be confused with your cocaine, you already are a drug fiend.

i just do the real thing.

I use powder detergent for my clothes. Clearly I am being brainwashed in to crack-washing my clothing =( That's a dirty tactic, cleaning detergent!

You know my parents would never let me and my siblings have any popeye sticks because they say it encouraged smoking. They said they seen kids eat them and pretend they were smoking with them. It was kind of ridiculous.

I even remember that my dad wouldn't let us buy bottles of dad's old fashioned root beer because the bottles looked like typical beer bottles. He thought the cops would probably pull us over if they say us drinking from those bottles.

I even remember when I was a teenager during the winter, all their teens would put their cigarettes in sucrets containers to disguise from the police or school that they're weren't smoking they only had those contained because they had a sore throat or something along those lines.

I don't even think this was deliberate; it could of been. But if seeing those packets and eating the mints induced kids to be doing drugs. I guess people who did laundry or used ajax and worked around chalk all the time, They would probably be induced to do drugs as well.

Well at least the drug dealers have a new container they can camoflauge their crack in.

Well if you go by that parallel, ever notice that an Ajax can looks strangely similar to over-sized cans of Kraft Parmesan Cheese? If you look from afar they don't look that much different.

I wish you people would stop giving me ideas on how to murder everyone I hate by cooking delicious, delicious "parmesan-topped spaghetti" for them. :mad:

looks like salt.

wonder if it'd taste good on freedom fries.

That's a brilliant master plan..

I thought it was gonna be a poll too... I choose drugs..

I have already heard this as a joke before, so it doesn't really crack me. The difference is that the joke involves poting sugar instead of heroine.

But seriously, I think the candy company's trying to legalise drugs covertly. Are they the addicted ones?

I think maybe they'll think of mixing a bit into this Icebreaker or whatever it is. The next few years ahead.

Actually I think this looks more like anthrax. Quick, SUV-driving mothers! Don't let your kids think bombing people is cool!

Make it diamond dusts then. Damaging people's lungs.

I suppose they just tried to show how good their product is by packing it the way they did.

While I don't have a problem with it personally, there are obviously people who'll throw a hissyfit over it. If someone seedy gave icebreakers like that to me, then that'd be a different story. For the most part though, it'd make for some pretty funny explaining until some fool takes drugs and blames it on Hershey.

I don't know about the rest of you, but my dealer is getting a call tonight. The fuck doesn't he sell me coke wrapped in mint? Best nose candy ever.

I had a prescription of amoxicillin once. The ear infection it was for had already passed, so I emptied all the containers onto a mirror and scraped it into lines. I left it like that for a really long time, and even when RA's would come in the room, they never questioned it. =(

Also, I love google ads. "Hershey's chocolate! Opiate Detox! Save on prescription drugs!"

Imagine that burn. :rolleyes:

Just IV the shit.

Nah, dude, if you cut it right it would go down smooth. Or, rather, up. I've put all kinds of flavored powders up my nose. It can be tricky, figuring out which ones don't burn, but it's worth it in the end.

Dynamites as well? It doesn't burn but it explodes :D.
