Tube Tales

I was sitting at the front table in our favorite dive bar playing a Poker dime game with some of my favorite boys (B.Wrong, M.Vista and Bunny who is officially considered a boy in this context) and Vista showed me this weird little mint thing that-
A. looked too strong to put in my mouth (cancer? heartburn?)
B. looked exactly like a gram
Of couse we end up scattering a few near the bathroom door and watched hipsters trying to open them for hours. Red faced frusteration ensued at lack of an opening and keys were brandished as sweaty hands tried desperately to rip open their new
prize.


Then today this popped up on the wire-


From an AP article:

"The Hershey Co. is halting production of Ice Breakers Pacs in response to criticism that the mints look too much like illegal street drugs, the company's president and chief executive officer said Thursday.

Ice Breakers Pacs, which first hit store shelves in November, are nickel-sized dissolvable pouches with a powdered sweetener inside. The pouches come in blue or orange and bear the Ice Breakers logo.

Members of Philadelphia's police narcotics squad said the mints closely resemble tiny heat-sealed bags used to sell powdered street drugs. They charged that the consequences could be serious if, for example, a child familiar with the mints found a package of cocaine."



Oh and here is a song for Sunday.
