Alcohol in its Many Forms




Recently, It struck me that I had seen and purchased gum with names that conjured alcoholic beverages: Sangria, Colada, Mojito. And I wondered out loud at the Stereo Radiation forum:

“Why is there no alcohol flavored gum? There are alcohol flavored chocolates, Jellies, lollipops” And further...“Why isn't there gum with real alcohol in it? It can't be because it would taste bad, because I still see Gator gum in the stores and it tastes like hell. Maybe they are afraid there would be people dying everywhere choking on their gum as they pass out.”

And Capital Z shot back...

“Beer flavored gum - this has got to be the next thing after the Beer and Clamato thing passes. This would be easy to conceal—you could be in court or something and say 'I need a freshen-up' and then proceed to get hammered.

I not sure if powdered alcohol is possible, but it almost seems like that would have to be a first step.”

He was correct. And lucky for us there is powdered alcohol. So true gum for alcoholics may be on the way. [add links]

  1. Alcohol flavored gum is bad considering it would give the chance for alcoholics to abuse it. Furthermore, minors would easily get their hands on it, and the government would need to make a law regulating its uses.

    That's right. You're right. It's a bad idea. Would you like a pillow for your head?
