Mister Frag 0 Posted July 23, 2004 From http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,126717,00.html Swedes Get Liquored Up on Hand Soap STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Some people at a three-day music festival in southern Sweden got more than just clean hands from the liquid soap in the portable toilets. They got a nice clean buzz, too. Since the detergent had 62 percent alcohol in it, some users were more keen on spiking their sodas than washing their hands. A 14-year-old girl was briefly hospitalized with a minor stomachache after she put too much soap into a carbonated beverage during the Baltic Sea Music Festival (search) in Karlshamn, a town that once was the center for Sweden's liquor production. Most of the soap, locked in dispensers, disappeared over night, said Anders Persson, whose company Bajamaja was hired to provide 65 portable latrines. "I suspected something was wrong because the soap went like hot cakes," he said Wednesday. Many of the soap dispensers were smashed by the time the festival ended on Sunday, Persson said. Access to alcohol is tightly regulated in the Scandinavian country of 9 million, with the state monopoly selling spirits through a national chain of retail outlets. Swedish law prohibits the sale of any alcoholic products to anyone younger than 18. Some 200 years ago, Karlshamn was a hub for the production of "snaps," a Scandinavian variety of hard liquor, which was made at the town distillery and then shipped throughout Sweden. Since then, the distillery has become a museum and the only liquid made in the town is vegetable oil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

red oct 2 Posted July 23, 2004 pfft! amatures! here there is a meth craze, dunno about the rest of the world when comes to picking their poison. theres at least 1 meth lab raid a day going on somewhere in my state. nobody seems to be interested in making hooch any more though, maybe in the degenerate populated boonies. of course teens are stupid and will always find ways to get a little buzz, tea bags, pixie sticks although getting some retard to snort one of those is can be very very funny at times.
