Ever notice candy that sorta mimics drugs?

[Eja117]

Big League Chew is obviously chewing tobacco

candy cigarettes

I have definitely seen Root Beer mimic beer packaging

Would you say that sugar stick things are cocaine?

hot balls ...meds?

Am I missing some obvious ones?

Those pop toy things are obviously champagne bottles but you don't drink em.

I don't think it's the fault of foods that drugs have been incorporated into them. I'm not going to blame jello, whipped cream,  and brownies for anything going on in college or congress.

Are there any international candies I'm not thinking of or do they just start smoking in other countries when they're 10 or something?

Halloween is coming up. I should think of this a little

Chocolate Bars, ruining the moral fabric of the good ol' U S of A.

Not drug related, but:



Absolutely disgusting, and doing horrors for society's youth, since 1980.


This one, actually is drug related (I apologize if you do not recognize the following):

there's also gum tape rolls, which is packaged in the exact same round container as skoal chewing tobacco.

Its not just food. The 5 media conglomerates have cradle-to-grave strategies for manipulating us into ideal consumers/cash cows.

From nick jr to the stations that cater to the elderly, they insert conditioning cues to shape our desires and values.

Tobacco and beer are huge money. You wont see weed-like candy coming from any big company though. Not until they approve synthetic thc pills from big pharma.

I've heard that the tobacco or beer companies will actually offer to pay for the packaging of candy that resembles their products. Not sure if true. Makes sense with the skoal-like gum tape.

wait, what's wrong with drugs?

You can't talk about them on CB. Other than that, lots of things.

Buuuut, according to CB rules and such (which are pretty important) y'all can't talk about it here, so...

This started in Arkansas.

Craziest thing I've read about in a longtime, but good reason to be wery of where your kids Trick or Treat

[Eja117]

I don't think that's exactly true. I think you can't have like legalize it threads or other inflammatory topics, but you can discuss them in other ways. We've had occasional threads where people say they have a problem or their friend does. Or if Ozzy snorts a bat or something we can talk about that I think. We've discussed some Len Bias type things. Context.

It's jump shredded, extra salty jerky. It's exactly what you'd think.
