FDA says "Trix are for kids" - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I may have missed a thread somewhere and if I did sorry, but anyway...
Has anyone seen that commercial for the new multivitamins for adults? The one where the adults are seen riding shopping carts around the grocery store like whimsical kids? Yeah... it's a commercial for ADULT, FRUIT FLAVORED, GUMMY MULTIVITAMINS!!! Adult dosages of certain vitamins are dangerous for kids, can be fatal.

Cough syrup and other various suspension-type medications are cherry, orange, grape... they are poisonous to kids and can cause death with the alcohol content alone.

Antacids in fruit smoothie... cough drops and lozenges in hundreds of flavors... neither of these are candy and contain ingredients intended to treat symptoms.

Hey FDA!!!! Um, huh? WTF?

Anyone know if these facts are being used in our arguments? Or am I totally behind on this one?

its a fact, my age say's im grown up, but i happen to like things that taste good.

They have those already actually. I've seen strawberry and banana readily available at wal-mart. Greatest invention ever lmao!

they just make everything smell like banana, cum, and sweat. Normally I'll only take 2 of the 3...

I don't even think there's an age restriction on flavored condoms

Lorena_Palin · 07-10-2009, 03:45 AM

of course not, you want a bunch of little 14 year olds wandering around preggo? Or I guess thats just condoms in general.

But still, in a country founded on freedom the government saying what we can and cant flavor is REALLY stupid. Kind of ridiculous that the right for Neo-Nazis to march in Skoki is protected and the right to own guns is protected, but the right to flavor tobacco or anything with nicotine is non existent. I mean I support free speech and responsible gun ownership, but I also think that if I want to consume something I should be able to add flavoring if I want it.

Now what is insane is that you have to be 18 to get the morning after pill. Like it's bad enough that it's $50 for one pill (I'm sure they worked out exactly how much they could charge based on the desperation of the average buyer).

They passed a law here in Tennessee last month that allows anyone with a gun permit to pack in a public park. I guess it's OK as long as they are not grape flavored.

Lorena_Palin · 07-12-2009, 03:08 PM

yeah, because then kid would start picking up guns and eating them....
