Thoughtless for the Day

A few months back, I came across a story about Philly's Police Commissioner being pissed off about a breath mint made by Hershey called Ice Breakers. Like most of things I read, the story just lodged itself somewhere in my brain. And I'm sure as hell am glad that it did, because today I got my first look at Hershey's Ice Breakers and they are every bit the bad marketing decision I had hoped they'd be! Seriously, you have to actually see them to believe them – and even then you'll be left shaking your head and muttering "How many goddamn meetings did they have about these little packets of white powder during which not a single person raised their hand to point out that the parents' groups that banned candy cigarettes were going to go bitchcakes when they got a look at Ice Breakers?"
