If they can package nicotine as minty lozenges, why not psychotheraputic drugs?
Feeling blue? Date not going well? Just pop a refreshing Peppermint Paxil or X-Treme Mint Xanax and be on the road to minty mental wellness once again!
Ok, ok... I did it for the pun.-- justaguy, May 16 2005 selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors... get it?-- justaguy, May 16 2005 +-- po, May 16 2005 SSRIs have to build up in your system to work. So you'd have to take these mints for several days to get anything but a placebo effect.-- krelnik, May 16 2005 Guy from the future 1: "So why did all those millions of teenagers die back in 2005?"
Guy from the future 3: "I don't know, but where'd guy from the future 2 go?"
Guy form the future 1: "I don't know, last I saw he was chewing down a mint xanax. Chasing it with red bull."-- daseva, May 16 2005 [krelnik] But in the meantime, you'll have minty fresh breath! Besides, we all need a little placebo effect in our lives.-- justaguy, May 16 2005 Hey, personally I'd be happier if my psychotherapeutic drugs tasted of mint.-- Basepair, May 16 2005 I was going to say exactely what krelnik said. And placebo's dont work for people who know it won't work. Also, making drugs that can be habit forming tasty is a bad idea. you get fishbone!-- SpocksEyebrow, May 17 2005 Do you need prescriptions for chocholate and coffee? silly semantics.-- SpocksEyebrow, May 17 2005 [SpocksEyebrow] Is it a minty fishbone?-- justaguy, May 17 2005 Why the mint Xanax? It works pretty quickly if you just swallow it. And you're going to need a prescription for it anyway, at least in the U.S. I like the general idea though, nothing beats a pocketful of Xanax.-- Noexit, May 17 2005 Why mint toothpicks? Regular ones work just as well.-- justaguy, May 17 2005 random, halfbakery
