Here we go again. Watch this one spread so fast that in two days every gossip-susceptible person in America thinks Valentines Day candy is being tainted in droves.

plus that is a long ways to drive to buy VD candy.

The estimated value of the faux Valentine's Day chocolate was more than $408,000

Big deal. On Valentine's Day that's what 6 dozen roses cost.

Candy first, VD later.

Dude, that candy comes in some gnarly colors!

[TFFKAMM]

I wonder about the estimated value of the haul. Even if it was nine pounds of pure psilocybin extract, I doubt if it would have a street price anywhere near $400k. But it's such a bizarre story that I couldn't resist posting it.

Or what the divorce might cost you if you don't buy any.

I ate some Valentines candy and I swear Bush was holding a Teddy Bear.

When I was a kid, there cyanide in the Tylenol, Razors in Candy, and LSD in Mickey Mouse tattoos.

Could have sworn that was Willy Wonka! ;-)

Then I ate another piece and he was holding a different one.

psilocybin,

Ahhh the memories of days long past.

Shrooms, mescaline, purple haze,orange sunshine.

I think that is too much information:-)

[TASMANIANRED]

You pulled it off quite well. Patience pays off.

[Echo Talon]

Then I ate a green one and i'll be damned another bear...
