Woman Buys a Box of Tampons, Discovers They Come with Free Cocaine

[witchcurlgirl]

Boxes of tampons aren't usually like Cracker Jacks, where you expect to find a prize inside. But one woman in Utah recently discovered that her tampons came with an added bonus of some free cocaine. Anybody ready for a period party? Umm, yeah, not so much. Anyway, after purchasing a sealed box of tampons at a local salvage store in Salt Lake City, Cindy Davidson opened it and saw that some of the tampons inside had been altered. Specifically, they'd taken out the tampon and packed the applicator with a white powdery substance wrapped in cellophane. The cellophane was so tightly taped that Cindy couldn't get it open and didn't know what was inside. She was going to wait until the next day to call the manufacturer, but then she thought better of it: "I started getting nervous because I thought it might have been a terrorist attack." Attack of the terrorist tampon!

She called the police instead, who sent a hazmat team. They quickly determined that they were dealing with good old-fashioned cocaine, which some clever smuggler had clearly been trying to move. Somewhere the plan must have gotten off track, because his product ended up in Cindy's house instead. The police are investigating, and the store has pulled the rest of the brand's boxes from the shelf. Cindy still can't quite believe this happened to her. She said, "I really couldn't wrap my head around it. … It was just crazy to me." As crazy as it is, it could have been a lot crazier, like if she hadn't noticed the applicator was chock full of coke BEFORE inserting it into her body.

I wonder how absorbent cocaine is?

Lucky bitch, I'm wasting all my time looking off the dock for square groupers, only to find out that I can find coke in my tampons. Who would have thought.

[witchcurlgirl]

uterine coke freeze must be great for cramps.

Jackpot!

[nancydrew]

And what brand was this? *changes shopping list*

Great idea, but I'm not sure that I want to share even with my uterus.

I didn't even catch that. Who would buy tampons in that type of store, well besides me now?

There's usually nothing wrong with items in a salvage store. It's usually name-brand items from a regular store that have gotten damaged (crushed box, torn box, etc.) or discontinued (or even switched out for newer packaging). That's how I got a crapload of Cascade, Tide, and ALL pods for $1 a bag, just like new in original packaging. I would imagine that much coke absorbed in the hooha would be enough to OD.

Not sure, but I don't think so. When I was a kid, there was a salvage store by my cousin's house that we loved to go to. It was stuff from train or truck shipments that had been refused by customers after being damaged in transit. Since the delivering company has to then pay for the shipment, they're entitled to salvage what they can. My guess, the "tampons" were smuggled in on a truck maybe and never made it to their intended destination for whatever reason.

Yep, occasionally I can find stuff like toilet paper and paper towels at the Salvation Army. I always take advantage of it if it's not too beat up.

[Chilly Willy]

Not fair.

I *think* I've told this story in here, but just in case i haven't...

Some weenie guy was hitting on me back in college and he's like, "You like coke? I've got coke. Have you ever had a guy go down on you with coke on his tongue?"

I couldn't help but laugh, "No, I've never let a guy put a topical anesthetic on my clit with his tongue!" LOL, numb mouth + numb clit = wtf?

[Seapharris7]

Well, tampons are good for Vodka....

[SHELLEE]

okay, wut?
