Powder-Filled Gel "Pac" Mints Mistaken for Drugs by Narcos

Powder-Filled Gel "Pac" Mints Mistaken for Drugs by Narcos: "icebreakerspac.jpg

The new 'Ice Breakers Pacs' candy from Hershey have freaked out narcotics officers in Philadelphia because of their resemblance to bags of powered drugs. The candy, which is a gritty sugar sealed inside a gel bag that dissolves in your mouth, looks an awful lot like a little baggie of cocaine or heroin."

Yeah, right, kid. "Mints," huh? Next you're going to say that t-shirt isn't a bomb. You're going to spend a long time in jail.

Was it this difficult for previous generations of law enforcement to keep up with changes in technology. I suppose it was. Anyways, for the conclusion - Ice Breackers Pacs: They may not be great mints, but you'll be cool like a heroin user. Alternately - Ice Breakers Pacs: Stickin' it to the man.
