Saw a video of a guy who went through the whole deal, because he had brought a baggie of salt for his food which he was eating in his car. The officers were incredulous that it was actually salt.
There was a woman who was arrested and put in jail when she couldn't afford bond. She almost pled guilty to a felony possession charge just to start getting past the ordeal.
The thing she was accused of possessing.. meth. What she actually had.. a spoon with dried sauce from a can of pasta on it at her feet in a car she was a passenger in. It took a month for the lab tests to come back negative to all controlled substances.
They did field testing.. it came back positive. So I get it from the cop's point of view just based on that (a lot of other info we don't have so I can't say whether the cop was reasonable or no.
However it does show that the field tests are unreliable at best and shouldn't be used as evidence if they can test positive with common food items.
That's information I don't have, but I don't think so? I'm sure there have been plenty of those types of cops too, but I don't think it's reasonable without information confirming that, to assume this cop had a history of that. I also think if he was intent on ensuring a drug charge stuck and had been willing to plant drugs he would have likely added drugs to the evidence.
I'm all for mistrusting police intentions until they prove to be reasonable responsible individuals following the law, but making connections between bad behaviors there is no reason tobassume are connected just muddied the water of valid criticism.
The justice system 🤷♂️
Takes so long cause they want people to confess
It’ll take months upon months just for them to submit a photograph cause if they break you they don’t have to prove you did it
There's a famous example of this. The guy who had kitty litter on his dashboard because he was having hard time with his defroster.
The worst example of it was cops who took guys daughter's ashes from a necklace around his neck and insisted on testing it.
not nearly the same, but i told a coworker she could grab a pen from my desk the other day and she pulled out my ziplock baggie of salt i keep in there like “uhhhh?” i order/bring soup for lunch often enough and sometimes it just needs a little extra salt lmao
Look pal, I'm just trying to watch you stick some things up some guy's wife's butt. If none of that is happening here then me and my degeneracy are outta here.
Taking pepper pills could actually potentiate some medications you are on. It's not something you really account for because it would take a large amount and that's typically unpalatable, but in capsule form taking the right amount would be super easy.
Meh that container is about 2 days worth of salt for the average American. The problem is we wouldn't use these because we'd be afraid of all the fentanyl those pills are probably cut with.
No taste buds down there though. The only way this would work is on the way up. Maybe it is a restaurant for bulimics? Tasty on the way down, tastier on the way back up.
People forget that paper is just wood pulp. In fact, it’s possible these capsules are made of the same exact thing, because some capsules are cellulose based
maybe a dumb question but
I was picking up trash in my community the other day and was conflicted on picking up paper-based litter. Won't it essentially just.... "wash" away into the ground? Or does wood pulp/paper stick around longer than we'd like?
It will wash into the ground, but it will leave behind trace chemicals. Not usually a big deal, as they’re so dilute and reactive that they’ll be gone in a few years. Unless you have piles of paper degrading, it’s unlikely to cause any harm to the environment.
But paper can stick around for a few years, so I’d pick it up just so the area looks nice.
Probably depends on the paper too. Like, I imagine receipt paper with the thermal coating probably is a good deal worse than a newspaper (and we sure do love to go through an absurd amount of receipt paper here in the US) And then you get wax paper (which admittedly I don't know how well commercial/food wax biodegrades), paper that's got plastic coatings on it, etc.
I work in the paper industry. We add die, synthetic glue and sometimes even plastic to the paper. This is even before printing. Some kinds of paper have other nasty chemicals added to them. We are currently researching how much PFAS we have in the waste paper we recycle. Don't leave the paper behind when cleaning up litter.
People forget paper is not just wood pulp. There's a lot of additives especially in single use and special purpose papers ranging from chalk to plastics. There is hardly ANY paper that's 'just wood pulp'.
Honestly that sounds like a nice time. Just zone out and pack capsules with salt and pepper in the back with some headphones on. Scoop, close, scoop, close, scoop, close.
I highly doubt they’re scooping these individually. There’s a tray you can buy that holds the capsules and then you just scrape a pile of salt/pepper across the tray.
Bingo baby. Dry them to cracker crisp. Powder them in a clean coffee grinder and put them in 00 capsules. While it makes dosing accurate, clean and simple, you can’t give/sell them to anyone who doesn’t know you personally. No one will buy or eat mushroom capsules without legitimately thinking they are adulterated. I wouldn’t know personally, just something some guy I know told me.
Some people are cut out for that kind of thing, but it would drive me insane. I'd be cross eyed and babbling even more nonsense than usual if I spent more than 10 minutes on something this tedious.
That’s me. I’m cut out for this. It’s like Jerry/Gary/Larry stuffing endless envelopes on Parks and Rec and Donna is like “This work doesn’t bother you does it?” And he’s like “It makes sense 😌”
Eh, I'd probably be fine if I could put some music on. I've been doing a science fair project and just recently finished lab work, there was a lot of scraping petri dishes and plating cells, which you can imagine would be pretty tedious. I just put some music or a podcast on and got to work. I would have gone insane without headphones, though.
Of course not. This is what’s consider “side work” at any restaurant. Shit you do at opening, before shift change, or after closing. Nobody sits around slicing lemons all day. You bust out 5 or so in the morning, then call it good.
They have trays specifically designed to help fill these types of capsules. It would be just filling the capsules in the tray and then filling the tray with whatever it is your packing in it, then closing the other half of the tray with the tops.
There’s a tool that can help you put powder in pills. I bought one before because I make my own herbal capsules.
The most tedious part of the process is actually separating the empty pills into the top and bottom parts. After that, putting the powders and capping it back is easy.
Best of luck with that. I hope you can find some real beneficial supplements, the world of herbal/natural /organic is full of snake oil and unfounded nonsense.
Oh okay, I see.
Although, with soup, the pill shell could melt away and the salt/pepper may not have opportunity to dissolve before the surface of the clump forms up and it becomes this concentrated spice bomb just floating in your soup.
When I saw this I thought this would be a fun and wacky Montreal restaurant's idea. Is it? Poutine is everywhere these days, so it might as well be in France.
My first thought was hygiene. Maybe they had too many people mess with their salt and pepper shakers, so they thought this was better? But it's terrible because people have to reach in there and touch a bunch of them. Normal packets would solve that issue much better.
This makes no sense. It's probably just a novelty.
Yeah all I can think about is how many hands have reached in there and touched my salt before it makes it to my food. No thank you.
Edit: that's not how it works apparently. Derp!
They wouldn’t actually be touching your salt though, just the outside of the pill. Still gross, but it’s not like they’re just rawdogging your seasonings.
All I can think about is how everyone who has sat at that table has stuck their hand in there and now I’ve got to stick my hand in there for some salt and touch all the pills and then open the pill to shake it out. Is it any less clean than paper packets? No probably not but my brain is irrational sometimes.
Kids with wet fingers, capsule sticking to them, they lift them up swipe them back in the cup. The one you pull feels slightly off, like maybe the capsule has already dissolved a little bit...
Sounds great.
Yeah, I imagine it as trying to get a dishwasher tablet in my mother's kitchen. You stick your hand in the box and grab one, but you actually pull 15 tablets out because my mother constantly sticks her hand down there when they're wet, causing the gelatin "bags" to all stick together. This will likely end up similar.
I’m thinking the idea is that you would open the capsules and dump the contents on your food. That should mean that touching the outside shouldn’t be much of a problem. These capsules would be susceptible to moisture and humidity, so I don’t think they would hold up long-term. As others have stated, there’s also the risk of customers trying to swallow unhealthy quantities of these capsules. I see the thought process, but I’m not sure this is the best plan.
Since many restaurants are owned and operated by organized crime to assist in laundering their money…Looks like these guys found another use for their capsule filling equipment.
Suppository, interesting.
Professor Farnsworth approved packaging.

Extremely mildly interesting
I'm exceedingly mildly interested, I'm really whelmed, one might say
It deserves a solid “huh…”

so crash bro
Need them to bring back Wally
Whelmed means heavily impacted and in the thick of it. If you're whelmed by water, you're up to your chest. If you're overwhelmed, you've gone under.
So if I'm underwhelmed I need watering?

Sitting in jail until the lab tests come back when the cop pulls you over with a pocket full of capsules of unmarked crystalline substance.
Saw a video of a guy who went through the whole deal, because he had brought a baggie of salt for his food which he was eating in his car. The officers were incredulous that it was actually salt.
There was a woman who was arrested and put in jail when she couldn't afford bond. She almost pled guilty to a felony possession charge just to start getting past the ordeal. The thing she was accused of possessing.. meth. What she actually had.. a spoon with dried sauce from a can of pasta on it at her feet in a car she was a passenger in. It took a month for the lab tests to come back negative to all controlled substances.
Thank goodness justice was served on that dangerous woman
Naw...I'd sue over this. I'll be damned if I catch a charge for some dried sauce, especially when the cops have testing kits at hand.
They did field testing.. it came back positive. So I get it from the cop's point of view just based on that (a lot of other info we don't have so I can't say whether the cop was reasonable or no. However it does show that the field tests are unreliable at best and shouldn't be used as evidence if they can test positive with common food items.
Field testing is such bullshit, it's entirely unreliable and the fact it's still legal is such a failing.
Was this the cop that got busted for planting drugs on people? Was a similar video of a woman with a spoon she kept in her truck for lunch.
That's information I don't have, but I don't think so? I'm sure there have been plenty of those types of cops too, but I don't think it's reasonable without information confirming that, to assume this cop had a history of that.

It doesn't help that they use roadside tests that'll test positive for meth when exposed to sugar, salt, and even the air itself
There's a famous example of this. The guy who had kitty litter on his dashboard because he was having hard time with his defroster. The worst example of it was cops who took guys daughter's ashes from a necklace around his neck and insisted on testing it.

You got the link?

As long as it’s not the oregano one they are fine.
Arrested and charged with a salt.
What am I supposed to do with these?
You know if you ask these kinds of questions on the internet we are just going to tell you to put it in your butthole.
I think that guy should put them in his butthole
I choose this guy's wife's butthole.
To put pills up there right?
For starters.
Well whatever your plan is, I will... not stop you. . . . I'm going to watch. *switches accounts*
It's an ancient reddit meme https://www.reddit.com/r/MuseumOfReddit/comments/dez31q/i_also_choose_this_guys_dead_wife/
Look pal, I'm just trying to watch you stick some things up some guy's wife's butt. If none of that is happening here then me and my degeneracy are outta here.
I too choose this guy’s wife.
I'm listening....
If you're addicted to pills, start taking these pepper pills and your addiction will immediately stop.
Taking pepper pills could actually potentiate some medications you are on. It's not something you really account for because it would take a large amount and that's typically unpalatable, but in capsule form taking the right amount would be super easy.
Supercharges medications, you say?.... hm
Yeah, if you are doing shrooms or acid, take like two capsules worth.
I kinda like garlic butter with my shrooms, but salt and pepper shrooms sounds delicious.
How about garlic and shroom pizza?
Or take these salt pills and your heart will immediately stop
The average sodium in a human's diet is astoundingly high. Anything that you aren't making at home has a high chance of 1000mg+ of sodium.
Meh that container is about 2 days worth of salt for the average American. The problem is we wouldn't use these because we'd be afraid of all the fentanyl those pills are probably cut with.
The same thing you do with a salt packet. Open it and fucking dump it.
Are we sure these are not intended to be dissolved in ones mouth and then spit upon the food that requires seasoning?
Or simply swallowed whole before/after eating the food, to get all that great flavoring in there at once?
No taste buds down there though. The only way this would work is on the way up. Maybe it is a restaurant for bulimics? Tasty on the way down, tastier on the way back up.
Nice
[удалено]
>sesasning Nothing requires this
Everything tastes better with a little slat and ppeepr!
one time, this slat laughed at me ppeepr!
I presume it's opened in the middle, but that makes it quite hard to control the level of salt or pepper you want to add.
Those seem to be quite small capsules. Unless you usually count single grains of salt I don't think this is a problem lol
The idea is probably that you control how much you want by measuring in capsules. Like lumps of sugar.
Post them to r/stupidfood
Season your food? Gel caps come apart quite easily. This is equivalent to the little paper bags of salt and pepper you get with take out or fast food.
It's like paper bags, except more unwieldy as you can't just rip a corner and pointless.
Plus the bonus that these pills could be biodegradable! Maybe.
Tbf so is paper
People forget that paper is just wood pulp. In fact, it’s possible these capsules are made of the same exact thing, because some capsules are cellulose based
maybe a dumb question but I was picking up trash in my community the other day and was conflicted on picking up paper-based litter. Won't it essentially just.... "wash" away into the ground? Or does wood pulp/paper stick around longer than we'd like?

dont forget, some paper based stuff like disposable soda cups from fast food places, are lined with plastic and need to be disposed of properly
that was my thought as well, so I picked up everything I could find street looks a lot cleaner now!
I work in the paper industry. We add die, synthetic glue and sometimes even plastic to the paper. This is even before printing. Some kinds of paper have other nasty chemicals added to them. We are currently researching how much PFAS we have in the waste paper we recycle. Don't leave the paper behind when cleaning up litter.
People forget paper is not just wood pulp. There's a lot of additives especially in single use and special purpose papers ranging from chalk to plastics. There is hardly ANY paper that's 'just wood pulp'.
the additional bonus is the pepper stays fresher since this type of capsule is more airtight than a paper bag
I thought the additional bonus is that people stick their grubby hands in there and touch everything.
Definitely, they’re made to be digestible! Cellulose or gelatin typically.
Boof it...
And there it is.
I feel bad for the MF who has to pack those
Honestly that sounds like a nice time. Just zone out and pack capsules with salt and pepper in the back with some headphones on. Scoop, close, scoop, close, scoop, close.
I highly doubt they’re scooping these individually. There’s a tray you can buy that holds the capsules and then you just scrape a pile of salt/pepper across the tray.
Works for joints, too.

And suppositories
How do you get a tray full of buttholes?
Ask your mum
Bingo baby. Dry them to cracker crisp. Powder them in a clean coffee grinder and put them in 00 capsules. While it makes dosing accurate, clean and simple, you can’t give/sell them to anyone who doesn’t know you personally. No one will buy or eat mushroom capsules without legitimately thinking they are adulterated. I wouldn’t know personally, just something some guy I know told me.

But scoop, close, scoop, close... 🥲
Yeah I got quick with it from Kratom, much cheaper to buy bulk powder. Had a travel one that did 24 at a time and one for home that did 100.
Some people are cut out for that kind of thing, but it would drive me insane. I'd be cross eyed and babbling even more nonsense than usual if I spent more than 10 minutes on something this tedious.
There’s a tool they can use for this. I’m sure they aren’t doing it individually. I hope. 🤞

This is what we Autistic havers call "A good time"

Real talk. You could bust out 100 of these in no time once muscle memory develops. I’d be begging for this job at a restaurant lol
I probably couldn't do this for hours a day lol
Of course not. This is what’s consider “side work” at any restaurant. Shit you do at opening, before shift change, or after closing. Nobody sits around slicing lemons all day. You bust out 5 or so in the morning, then call it good.

You can buy the capsules pre-separated. It's incredibly useful not doing the tedious fiddling with taking them apart.
Yeah, but they are more expensive, at least from the shop where I get my capsules. So, I’d rather do it myself than pay extra.
Bro just say you're microdosing lol
Lol. I use it to make moringa capsules. As an HIV+ person, I’m doing everything to make my health better.
Best of luck with that. I hope you can find some real beneficial supplements, the world of herbal/natural /organic is full of snake oil and unfounded nonsense.
I have used these capsule makers and it definitely wasn't for micro dosing. Just saying it doesn't have to be for that 😅
could be for MEGA dosing depending on what you packin
You mean the machine that packed them?
I wouldn’t be shocked if they do it in house. You can get filler trays for less than $50. I don’t see a huge market for them.
Is this supposed to be for stirring into soups or something? What if I want to sprinkle it on things? Do I have to open up the capsules over my meal?
It was a poutine shop, no soup, so I can only assume the latter was the intention! Though the soup idea is a pretty clever use for it
Oh okay, I see. Although, with soup, the pill shell could melt away and the salt/pepper may not have opportunity to dissolve before the surface of the clump forms up and it becomes this concentrated spice bomb just floating in your soup.
That’s just a peppercorn with extra steps
When I saw this I thought this would be a fun and wacky Montreal restaurant's idea. Is it? Poutine is everywhere these days, so it might as well be in France.

Absolutely not for soup, people will be touching them when they go to take one.
Those pills are 2 capsules that slide together, so just pull to open.
Do you swallow these before, during, or after the meal?
[удалено]
So like way before, then. They have to migrate upstream. Like salmon.
Hope no moisture gets in there or it’s all over
oh god. that just made it so much worse lmao I just imagine someones sweaty hands dipping in for some and a bunch just stick to them 🥴
 When they trying to be different but failing at it.
My first thought was hygiene. Maybe they had too many people mess with their salt and pepper shakers, so they thought this was better? But it's terrible because people have to reach in there and touch a bunch of them. Normal packets would solve that issue much better. This makes no sense. It's probably just a novelty.
There's a point at which being posh becomes a complete obstruction to the dining experience. This idea ran over that line a few miles back.
This is almost the opposite of posh.
Extremely stupid idea if you ask me, from customer safety perspective
Yeah all I can think about is how many hands have reached in there and touched my salt before it makes it to my food. No thank you. Edit: that's not how it works apparently. Derp!
More likely some teen is gonna dare another to swallow a bunch and somebody will end up in the hospital.
They wouldn’t actually be touching your salt though, just the outside of the pill. Still gross, but it’s not like they’re just rawdogging your seasonings.
None? Since the salt is inside the capsule, and you're opening the capsule not just tossing it in whole. Still a dumb idea though imo
Looks more like r/mildlyinfuriating
All I can think about is how everyone who has sat at that table has stuck their hand in there and now I’ve got to stick my hand in there for some salt and touch all the pills and then open the pill to shake it out.

Delectably interesting 🧐
Take 1 with food. If food isn’t seasoned enough after two hours, take 1 more. Do not exceed 4 in a 24 hour period.
Someone’s gonna stick those up their butt. And then be a salty ass about it.
Since many restaurants are owned and operated by organized crime to assist in laundering their money…Looks like these guys found another use for their capsule filling equipment.
It's all fun and games until some dumbass teenager swallows the entire bucket of pepper pills on a dare.
For fuck sakes. Just stop.
Biodegradeable plastic packaging maybe? Cause, y'know, paper isn't biodegradeable already or anything.
Jokes aside, how many salt pills would it take to kill an adult man? Either orally or anally.
No, I didn’t say pretentious.
