WTF?

I'm 17. I bought epoxy in June. Tonight I went to go buy some, turns out you have to be 18 years old to buy it. I cant buy super glue or rubber cement either.

In my county at least, you have to be 21 to buy cold medicine (pill and liquid). You can only buy 1 (or 2, i forget) cold medicines at a time. You have to sign some city wide logbook so they can see if you are purchasing excessive medicine. WTF?

When did the crackdown start?

I blame it all on the fruit-scented markers we used at school when I was little. Who's bright idea was that? :p

You have to be 18 to buy spray-paint too. I was surprised. I was carded at Home Depot. :( Luckily I am 18 and was able to purchase it.

I think I might go to the grocery store tomorrow and try to buy 20 bottles of Nyquill. Just to see what happens.

Remember the Crayola scented crayons? I had the "first gen" where they were all fruity smelling and there was a big uproar because kids were eating them because of how they smelled. They replaced them with weird ones like dirt, leather and new car smell. :confused:

Cash register will stop you, even if the n00b cashier doesn't :p The ones at the store where I used to work were programmed to keep track of stuff like that.
