Hershey's mint powder resembles cocaine

The trend of drugs that look like candy and candy that looks like drugs seems to be in full swing these days. And now Hershey's has its own model in the candy-drug market:

Police said a new mint manufactured by Hershey's bears a striking resemblance to cocaine.

Ice Breakers Pacs consist of tiny, dissolvable packets filled with white powder.

The mint candy went on the market in November.

Dallas police Senior Cpl. Kevin Janse said the mint looks like a bag of cocaine and is even the same color.

"I've been on the streets 15 years, and I've seen a lot of these, and they've all been full of cocaine," he said.

Other people agreed that the small packets resembled drugs.

One unidentified woman said the mint "looks like a bag of cocaine."

I love the writing in this article, "Looks like a bag of cocaine," That appears to be the whole story.

yeah, that cop is a real sherlock holmes, and the woman is genius too.

"looks like a bag of cocaine."

...

how would she know?

If I were a dope dealer, I'd think not to do the obvious and stash the drugs in some new candy that's been sensationalized all over the news

Oooh! we got some of these at the candy fair, too. The "bag" is edible, though, like those breath mint windowpane looking things. The orange flavored one is really bizarre, sort of like a mentholated, exploding creamsicle.
