The most important question is, how fattening is it?

Next thing the idiot Schumer will do is push is to outlaw Tang.

Sorry, I’m a powdered drink mix junkie.

Coco Loko ingredients — raw cacao powder, ginkgo biloba, taurine, and guarana

basically Red Bull powder. 10 “hits” cost $25.00, and the one verified feedback on amazon said it didn’t do squat. the rest were fakes.

can’t imagine anything good comes of this should any snorting residue wind up in your lungs.

using this stuff is basically a result of stupidity, and if we tried to outlaw stupidity, who would be left to vote Dem?

At any rate, it’s a ridiculous idea that probably will die out before it even becomes a fad. Too bad Chuckie boy gave it so much free publicity.

From the look of him, I’d say Schumer has been snorting ground up fecal matter for a very long time. You can tell because he looks like a $hit head!

Typical nanny-state political knee-jerk: “There’s a new fad, we MUST regulate it!”

Good grief, this is going to go the way of Pogs, Pet Rocks, Tamagotchi, and the hot sauce in every liquor store craze. It’s a stupid idea that is extremely unlikely to last more than a few months.

In other news...

After powdered chocolate was banned, powdered chocolate-snorting addicts are now stealing solid chocolate bars and grinding them down into powder in order to satisfy their addiction.

Convenience store owner Rajit Nafertisian relates “I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t keep a Hershey’s Chocolate bar on the shelf. I put a box out, and boom, they’re gone inside of five minutes. And, nobody is paying for them...they’re being stolen. I guess I will have to keep them behind the counter.”

Government officials have suggested that a dose of pepper should be mixed in with solid chocolate bars to dissuade addicts from using this method. As one unnamed source put it “Hey, it did the job with Testor’s Model Glue years ago.”.

He wants the nanny state to regulate how people ingest a legal product. He is wrong. At least in this nation. If he wants to pursue this type of control over ‘subjects’ let him run for office in China.

Well, could I be what UpChuck is talking of? I have 22oz can of Hershey's Cocoa powder for cooking, in my kitchen cabinet.

This story reminds me; whatever happened to powdered alcohol? That was supposed to be available to the public some five, six years ago. Was it not approved? That would be surprising, given the libertine attitude of today’s legislators.

I'd forgotten about Palcohol. Found this Wired story: WE EXPERIMENTED WITH POWDERED ALCOHOL SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

Right, but it will be illegal to sell both weed and tofu in the same store.

Yeah, well I don’t let my grandchildren drink energy drinks....but I haven’t called for regulating them or pulling them off the market.
People need to take responsibility.

There exists a class of people who simply can’t sleep at night concerned that someone, somewhere is happy and they aren’t doing enough to stop them.

We call these people liberals...

I think, for once, that Schumer is right. But then, even a broken clock is right twice a day.


Yeah, and the tip off is the name of the company. Lean is the cough syrup/soda/etc. cocktail that Saint Skittles was high on when he was put down.

We could go the other way. We could go third world. Caveat emptor. You buy your food and you take your chances. It could give you boutulism, or be milk made out of chalk,

We do have the caveat emptor system, by law some products can't be labeled with their country of origin *cough* China *cough*...

I’d prefer a system in our country where you have the choice of FDA approved or not. just enforce the honesty of the labels.

As you say. Chickens grown in the US, but processed in filthy Chinese factories are labeled as a product of America.

I suppose it beats importing muslim factory workers to handle our food here.

By a razor thin margin...
