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.
I think yeah, once. It hurt a lot, big surprise.
I was dared to do it in middle school oh boy did it hurt and make my nose bleed.
This explains SO much.
cuz I’m so sweet? no u!
Here’s my pixy stix story from my youth. Went on a backpacking trip with the boy scouts. As I’m sure many of you know, when a group of boys comes together in the wilderness, their IQ drops a good 20-30 points.
Anyway, I was dared to lick some horse manure for a huge pile of pixy stix. Huge. I was about to do it when a scout leader came and blew a gasket on me. He was pissed. Went into a tirade about e. coli and everything. I’m sure he punished us somehow but I can’t remember how.
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
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!
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.
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.
Yes Kids on the bus. Never did a pixie stick but I snorted a crushed up smartie.
Ehem.
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 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 friends jokingly did.
No. I heard about it, never knew anyone that ever did
Don’t know what that is,but I did snort salmiac sticks… regretfully.
