In his recent segment, John Oliver joked about Pixy Stix training kids to do cocaine and it reminded me that I used to do just that. Although I never used the straw, I just leaned in, closed one nostril, and went for it. I was in 5th grade, it made my friends laugh.

Yeah, we'd mix it with kool-aid powder and call it diet coke. We were dumb.

A mixture like that plus crushed up smarties or something got all powdered candy banned at my elementary school because kids were carrying around big bags of it and snorting it at recess. Can't be a coincidence that we were doing DARE at the same time

We just used to crush up smartees(US) in the wrapper, and pretend it was a joint. The puff of dust was always a nice touch.
