In his recent segment, John Oliver joked about Pixy Stix training kids to do cocaine and it reminded me that I used to do just that. Although I never used the straw, I just leaned in, closed one nostril, and went for it. I was in 5th grade, it made my friends laugh.
good way to get aspirated lungs, and pneumonia. you only snort cocaine. even cinnamon is dangerous if snorted, nutmeg too.
Thankfully, I already had weak lungs as a kid, so it was like a double jeopardy situation. They can’t get you with the same illness twice!
Yes Kids on the bus. Never did a pixie stick but I snorted a crushed up smartie.
Ehem.
I read the title and thought “I wonder if OP watched John Oliver last night.” Lmao
I never did, but I knew a couple kids that have.
I didn’t but I knew a guy who did.
Yeah, we’d mix it with kool-aid powder and call it diet coke. We were dumb.
A mixture like that plus crushed up smarties or something got all powdered candy banned at my elementary school because kids were carrying around big bags of it and snorting it at recess. Can’t be a coincidence that we were doing DARE at the same time
We just used to crush up smartees(US) in the wrapper, and pretend it was a joint. The puff of dust was always a nice touch.
-“Kids, don’t huff paint!” -“Holy shit, you can huff paint?” -my DARE experience in a nutshell
Nope. But my friend snorted sour skittles powder on a dare. The aftermath was like he had been pepper sprayed.
I’ve done that too. Not sure if my friend forced it in my nose or if I did it intentionally but I remember it was absolute hell.
No. I heard about it, never knew anyone that ever did
Never did this myself, but I watched a guy in the army crush and snort Altoids once. Boredom can make you do dumb things.
I recall that being painful.
Yeah, it burned a lot. I don’t know where I picked it up, but I remember knowing enough to say, “Smooooooth” to make people laugh.
Saw a kid do a rail of pixie on the bus one time. They said it burned. I’d believe it, with all that citric acid in there for tartness.
Can confirm. Snorted sugar exactly once.
Don’t know what that is,but I did snort salmiac sticks… regretfully.
I didn’t but friends jokingly did.
Never did this, but knowing it’s a thing explains a lot.
I wasn’t retarded as a kid, I only became retarded as an adult.
Pixy stix makes you re-tart-ed.
