Perhaps you've already heard about Icebreakers Pacs, the powdered breath freshener that comes in small colored bags and looks exactly like 5-to-10 for possession and intent to distribute? Well, we hadn't -- until a coworker broke some out in the cube next to us, and holy crap, we were all like "Woah, dude, you got a problem!" Very quickly, he explained that he was only freshening up his breath, and as is customary in situations like these, offered us a sample of the product. Swear to God, when we were examining the packets -- which are designed to dissolve on your tongue -- a bit leaked out of an inadvertently open corner, leaving us with an incriminating little dribble in our mustache like we were Neil Young in The Last Waltz.
Now, far be it from us to condemn Hershey's and the Halitosis Industrial Complex for bringing their tendency to package breath fresheners in increasingly drug-like delivery systems to a crass and distressing new level.
All we're saying is: if you're hosting a "Goodbye, The Wire" party this weekend, we think we've found something for the coffee table.
