I'm a bit worried about this hazardous candy...

If it hasn't come to a Home Depot near you, it will.

We're starting to sell snack foods! You should SEE the numbers! Right now we're doing $2500 a week in this stuff, which isn't bad for a subcategory full of under-one-dollar items, and it's getting bigger every week.

We get the food from a vendor who sends it in totes labeled with the vendor's name, an inscription "this tote for edible product only," and a big ORM-D (means "Other Regulated Material--Domestic" and it's a hazardous-material category) right under the "edible product" line.

ORM-D normally covers cleaning products, spray paints and the like, so I'm a bit curious. I mean, I know the shit we're selling is bad for you but let's be real, it won't instantly kill you the way some of the items on ORM-D do. Maybe if they ship aerosol cheese? Is that considered hazmat?

1. Well, hell!

Are you serious? Everybody needs to know about this. On the other hand, have you ever seen the labeling for a Cheetos shipment? Maybe it's exactly the same.

2. Maybe it's durian-flavored candy.

Someone gave me some once, and that stuff should be labelled ORM-D.

:scared:

3. Is it from the Whizzo Chocolate Company?

With names like Crunchy Frog and Ram's Bladder Cup? That would explain the ORM-D classification.

4. Crunchy Frog isn't ORM-D

Crunchy Frog is UN Class 6.2 (biohazardous substances) and Spring Surprise is UN Class 1.3 (explosives with a minor blast hazard).

Definitely not ORM-D.

This stuff's not from Whizzo Chocolates, though; it's just Snickers bars and beef jerky.
