It’s not meth, it’s just candy. Just be careful with it around cops and actual meth-heads.

In 1982, Debbie Ball’s candy store in Albuquerque, New Mexico–dubbed Candy Lady–was the center of controversy over Ball’s decision to sell candy shaped like certain  body parts that typically gets distributed at bachelor and bachelorette parties.  Little did she know that 30 years later, she’d once again find herself at the center of controversy.  Debbie Ball is the mind behind “Breaking Bad”-inspired meth candy, which is traditional rock candy dyed blue to look like crystal meth and sold in plastic baggies.  It looks just like the crystal meth cooked up by Walter White on Breaking Bad, and it’s a huge hit with the fans of the show.

Interestingly enough, Ball’s candy isn’t just a tie-in with the show; it actually appeared on the show and was endorsed by Bryan Cranston himself when he appeared on CBS’s Late Show With David Letterman in July.  Cranston gave the host a blue baggie of rock candy, and sales spiked.

”We supplied the show when it first started.  It’s just rock candy with blue dye and it looks like the real thing,” said Ball.  She added, “Hopefully this will be good for business and good for the show.  The response has been great.  I think it’s starting to go viral.  I’m getting calls from all over the world.  I have to make 400 bags before tomorrow morning.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
