New mint packets being sold by The Hershey Co. look nearly identical to the tiny heat-sealed bags used to sell illegal powdered drugs like crack, heroin and cocaine and glorify the drug trade, a Philadelphia police official said.
Ice Breakers Pacs, nickel-sized dissolvable pouches with a powdered sweetener inside, hit store shelves in November. The packets, which come in blue and orange plastic slide-up cases, are similar enough to drug packets that a child familiar with the candy could mistakenly swallow a heat-sealed bag of drugs, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector William Blackburn said. “It glorifies the drug trade,” he said. “There’s really no reason that a product like this should be on the shelf.”
For those of you, who like me find this to be objectionable .. I would like to encourage you to click on the link and go to herseys site .. enter your birthday and fill out a complaint letting them know how you feel and I also urge you to boycott Hersheys products until they remove the above pacs.
