Another dumb kid trend, snorting Smarties

[IronWing]

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Well, that was unpleasant. Also, FYI, just because it is called rubbing alcohol, just don't.

How did you rid yourself of the maggots?

You snort a chicken.

You want the maggots so you can crush em up and main line the pulp.

2nd graders did this all the time in the 90s

well, you'll thank me when you start finding dead maggots in your stool.

 

[Kaido]

Nasal...maggots.

Well, I won't be sleeping tonight.

Why you snortn the smarties?

Sounds like bullshit to me. Candy doesn't rot, and it also doesn't draw flies. The story's sensationalized crap. They make non-tobacco snuff, and it should be easy to get online. It has a dextrose base(looks more like coke), and has a bit of menthol. I used to give to my daughter when hewr nose was plugged up from being sick. It actually doesn't help much, but it gives the illusion of clear breathing, so you feel better for a bit.

They are probably referring to these

Kids were doing this when I went to school 20 years ago. It's just newsworthy now because as a society we need to be force fed pointless reports like this on a daily basis.

My friends and I would joke about this in grade school in the early-mid 90s, but we never actually did it (we weren't that fucktarded). What fucking idiots.

same here. not sure how many people did it. kids would likely put cocaine in their nose before these anyways.

Don't you be debunking Daily Mail stories. "Nasal maggots". Why would anyone want to throw water on this fire?

 

[SAWYER]

There was a guy in one of my classes that would snort chalk dust

 

[Pray To Jesus]

in my days we would pop smarties like they were candies

 

[Wreckem]

exactly what I was thinking... these are smarties

The article in question so Rhode Island parents, which means US, so I don't know why you thought of the Canadian Smarties.

 

[Wreckem]

I remember the days when they had candy cigarettes. I bought those as a kid to imitate my parents. I didn't cause me to start smoking the real thing.

those aren't "the Canadian Smarties" those are literally the Smarties of the rest of the world, except for 'murica apparently

was about ask if anyone remembered those as well

To add to the confusion, "American" Smarties are made in Canada.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Yea, this is dumb, why buy and crush smarties when they can just use pixy sticks like the kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s? Seems like the new batches are dumber making something simple more complicated for no reason?

I'll just leave this here:

I remember snorting liquorice powder was popular a summer in my public school. Some also did biscuits. Kids do weird stuff, and at a certain point they have to learn that stupid things are eventually going to hurt. They should learn it before the do something stupid kills them.

They cannot be sold in the US because of trademark issues.

US Smarties are the equivalent of Canadian Rockets. US smarties are terrible and worthless candy that cheap bastards give out on Halloween.

Nestle could relabel what the world knows as Smarties in the US but they have never done so. Likely because market penetration with Americans already strongly identifying with M&Ms would be hard. Much like, M&Ms didn't penetrate world markets anywhere near the levels of its American market.
