Loading ...Hershey’s makes a candy called IceBreakers. Its a mint. Somebody decided to package it as a powder form inside a dissolvable cellulose packet. The cops in Philadelphia, rather than clean the streets of real drugs and real drug users, went on a rampage against Hershey over the mint pouches. In fact, the stupid pouches made Linda Wagner cry. Linda is a pathetic cop who could not even deduce that her own daughter, Krystle Baehr, was whoring herself out for heroin.
From the USA Today here, with thanks to Poppy.
Linda Wagner, a Philadelphia narcotics officer whose teenage daughter died of a heroin overdose, held back tears when she saw the pouches.
Because even though the packets are clearly labeled as IceBreakers candy, she was scared it would make kids want to swallow cocaine packets. Packets that I guess, cops like Wagner should get off the streets and away from kids. So instead of going after the real cocaine, she wants to solve the problem by going after candy.
I seethe when the news tries to club us with “absolute moral authority” statements from people like Wagner. Reminds me of the perpetually crying Cindy Sheehan. Just because she lost her daughter, we are not supposed to question her demands upon a corporation?
Hey, if the stupid cop thinks IceBreakers are bad, wait till she gets a load of the new Cascade Dishwasher Dissolvable Packets. Its just like the IceBreakers but bigger! Does this mean she will cry more tears? Will children start putting large bags of cocaine in the dishwasher?
The packets are clearly labeled as candy. And there are loads of candies and mints that look like freaking drugs.
Tic-tacs have no markings. An Altoids mint is the ugliest, most poorly manufactured mint there is. It has no label and clearly looks like it was made in a basement by a Crackhead. How does this stupid Narc agent distinguish an Altoids from Ecstasy?
Ever see Nerds candies? If they are pale yellow or tan, it looks just like crack rock. OMG, Nerds will make this stupid Narc agent cry.
How is Philly doing with their rampant drug crimes? Does hiring weepy women really help curb illegal drugs? I’m glad she’s all over the IceBreakers thing though. She couldn’t get her own daughter off of heroin, but she’s going to stop the dissolvable sugar packet thing cold. I guess dentists will thank her.
If you think its unfair that I pick on a cop whose daughter died, well, there were clues to her behavior. Cops are supposed to detect clues. Krystle Baehr even wrote it down in her diary that she was heavily into drugs and was in trouble. But this mom refused to search her room or question Krystle’s behavior until she was found dead in the back seat of her car of a heroin overdose.
From Linda’s own words here:
Until her death, I believed that I had the perfect all-American girl. After her passing, I began to look through her belongings and found items that indicated drug use. Her diary enlightened me even more. She smoked marijuana, snorted cocaine, took ecstasy and drank alcohol. She died from a heroin overdose.
Its sad when a parent loses a child. But its no excuse to go after a candymaker. Go after the drug dealers instead.
(A very versatile phrase!)
That’s sad. I know it was pointless, but I was holding out hope.

YOU MADE THIS INTO A WHOLE POST. I’m glad to see you publicized your brilliant comparison to those evil addictive Cascade Dishwasher Dissolvable Packets.
Thanks!
Yeah, those cascade packets, in the eyes of Philly cops, are nefarious clusters of cocaine, indistinguishable from the smack you buy on the mean streets downtown. Like IceBreakers, only bigger.
Linda is a pathetic cop who could not even deduce that her own daughter, Krystle Baehr, was whoring herself out for heroin……. WOW! Who the hell do you think you are, have some compassion. I personally new Krystle, I went to school with her, and for you to write something like that… SHAME ON YOU! I mean I can understand your counter arguement, but to call Krystle’s mom pathetic mom and Krystle a Whore… I hope you NEVER have to go through something like that one day. I guess this just shows how human beings can be so cold and heartless. It’s a disgrace!
Krystle was a prostitute, allowing men to abuse her so she could buy some smack. That my friend, is called a whore.
Are you disputing this fact?
And Krystle’s Mom had no time or energy to help Krystle when she was going to her doom, but after her death she sure seemed to see the light. She devoted her life to preventing another Krystle-type death, but did not put in that effort on her own daughter.
Are you disputing this fact too?
You might not like hearing the truth on the subject of your friend’s death. But it still remains the truth.
From all the articles I read, and hearing from her close friends, it was Krystle’s first time doing the se for drugs trade, but you can’t always believe what you read and hear. The situation is what it is. However, I was in school with Kryslte from freshmen year until her death, although I rarely seen her outside of school I was oblivious to her drug using. I just thought she was a nice all around good girl. So if she was good at hiding it from others she could have been just as good at hiding it from her parents and other loved ones. I personally never dabbled in drugs, but I did drink and I would always sleep out when I knew I would be drinking, what if Krystle did the same thing, coming back home when she was sober. I don’t know, I guess when its someone your age it touches a nerve. Im sure her mother will never forgive herself for not seeing signs sooner, so maybe by trying to keep others from spirling into the world or drugs she can have just a morsel of peace from this horrific ordeal. But your harsh words are all over candy. And yeah, it may seem silly because its just candy, but when I first looked on this page I seen the candy and the first thing that I thought of was that looks like drugs. But my words may seem silly to you. At the end of the day the reality is its just candy, you have your opinion, I have mine, and a mother’s only daughter is still dead. Thanks for taking the time to respond to me.
None,
Your words do not seem silly at all, and I do understand the pain this tragedy has caused, along with the endless questions such as why wasn’t Krystle’s problems detected before?
But Linda Wagner is not honoring her daughter’s death by going after CANDY. She would do it by busting drug dealers and keeping those bastards off the streets.
These gelatin packets are going to be everywhere in a very short time. From vitamins to chocolate to mints, these packets are the future of foods for adults and children alike. Wagner needs to focus on the drugs, not a gelatin packet that is clearly labeled as candy.
Finally, as a Mom, remember to always trust your children, but VERIFY what they are doing is right. That means reading their diaries, monitoring their internet usage and making sure they go where they say they do. Its a duty of responsible parents.
I’d really like to slap the shit out of that stupid cunt narc officer. Your daughter dies from heroin, so nobody can enjoy candy that just happens to resemble drugs? If your daughter was fucked to death, would we have the same problem with popsicles and corndogs? Psh.
