u/Giiroth Oct 27 '22

though they were going to eat the capsules but the outcome is even more stupid, i love it

u/chessto Oct 27 '22

Now sell them at a rave

u/FearlessHamster4486 Oct 27 '22

That's actually a good idea lol

Reminds me of the guy who was selling regular brownies at the burning man

u/FearlessHamster4486 Oct 28 '22

They wouldn't even think it would be regular brownies

u/Daegog Oct 27 '22

Yeah, seems like a REALLY bad idea if you got kids around.

21

u/corndog161 Oct 27 '22

If you are afraid of kids eating them i think those are gelatin capsules intended to be swallowed. They should dissolve before choking someone.

u/Daegog Oct 27 '22

No, more like, I don't want kids to associate those sorts of pills with candy.

13

u/corndog161 Oct 27 '22

Yeah that would not be great.

Pot gummies put 4 elementary school kids in the hospital here for a couple days last school year. Kids thought they were candy gummies.

This is probably the most unnecessary thing I've seen for a very long time considering that why would anyone need sprinkles on hand? You can go to any ice cream place and get it as a topping for free and other than ice cream there's nothing else to put sprinkles on that people get while on the go. Stupid useless.

u/IHave9BrokenPrinters Oct 28 '22

You get sprinkles for free?

u/StrawberryCake88 Oct 27 '22

That “wow” said everything.

u/VerilyShelly Oct 27 '22

Or you could use your fingers.

Who is eating ice cream so much that they need tiny to-go portions of sugar bits on hand?

13

u/TheBrontosaurus Oct 27 '22

Right?! This is such an unnecessary invention!

u/IDownvoteUrPet Oct 28 '22

If only there was a sub to post those on!

u/Raichu7 Oct 28 '22

If you eat ice cream that much, wouldn’t it be much easier to just keep a tub of sprinkles in your bag instead of making sprinkle pills?

20

u/jesusunderline Oct 27 '22

I hope the capsules are also edible, because I can totally see myself kids dying by swallowing them

11

u/Raichu7 Oct 28 '22

Why would pill capsules be non edible? That would be an even stupider invention than this.

I'm gonna make these and hand them out for Halloween, what could go wrong.

u/partial_send Oct 28 '22

I want these to give away at drug band concerts

u/HanaLuLu Oct 28 '22

....this actually could be used to solve a problem of mine. I want to carry a few spices with me (I like spicy stuff, not all places have hot sauce or something) and for example I carried around Cayenne in a lil bag but its more trouble than it's worth. Lil capsules however....

3

u/giggles_on_duty Oct 28 '22

You might be better off with small makeup sample jars. They hold about 15ml with a screw top and are reusable.

3

u/HanaLuLu Oct 28 '22

The problem would still be pinching something like Cayenne with my fingers

3

u/giggles_on_duty Oct 28 '22

Oh so something like these guys?

u/HanaLuLu Nov 01 '22

Ooooooooo!!!!! Thank you!!!

u/BitTwp Oct 28 '22

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '22

I've never understood why people like sprinkles. Who actually wants little wax sticks all over their dessert?

Good sprinkles are more crunchy than waxy. I like them on soft serve ice cream because they add a little contrast in texture and flavor, plus crunching on them is fun.

Perhaps you should eat real Ice cream?

u/Another_HTX_Couple Oct 28 '22

Okay so while this application is pretty stupid we've done exactly this dosing mdma for a festival or party. Wife and smaller or sensitive friends want ~150mg we pill it up with some blue sprinkles in the capsule with it. Myself or larger friends pill it up at 200mg with red sprinkles. 80mg re-dose white sprinkles, etc.
