www.Snopes.com/food/warnings/coins.asp There is a new warning put out by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency: Sherwood brand Pirates Gold Milk Chocolate Coins are being recalled due to the fact that they contain Melamine- the ingredient in milk that has caused deaths in infants in China. These candies are sold @ Costco, as well as many bulk & dollar stores. Please make sure to check all candy and don't eat the Pirates Coins!!
chocolate is in fact toxic on its own, it'd just require a large dose to be fatal. a regular sized human would have to eat about 22 pounds of it in a go for it to be fatal.
Curses! The canooks found out our plan to destroy them by using tainted chocolate and their own gluttonous appetite.
Note: I also realize the irony of an American saying this.
wasn't this a song in the early 90s
lol canada
THIS IS NOT WTF NEWS
That qualifies it as a toxin? Wouldn't consuming 22 pounds of almost anything at once kill you?Quote:
