Honestly, I have teenagers, booked sweets and lemonade in my house - they have internet access.

That went over my head.

ChariotsofFish · 23/05/2019 17:15

Yeah, no clue.

TheHobbitMum · 23/05/2019 17:16
Hmm
UCOinanOCG · 23/05/2019 17:16

Pardon?

iklboo · 23/05/2019 17:17

Eh?

Macca84 · 23/05/2019 17:17

What else does it contain? Do the effects combat fatigue?

Asking for a friend.

MissMary0fSweden · 23/05/2019 17:18

Have you taken it?

Saucery · 23/05/2019 17:18

If they know where to get the active ingredient then they are already more than half way to being able to make it. Having the other ingredients listed is neither here nor there.

You can make illegal drugs with sweets and lemonade?

Michaelbaubles · 23/05/2019 17:18

You also need Codeine cough syrup though, so if you don’t have that they can’t make it.
I mean, you can mix lemonade with vodka and they could die of alcohol poisoning , but are you worrying about that?

Morgan12 · 23/05/2019 17:19

So what's the whole recipe then?

ILikeyourHairyHands · 23/05/2019 17:22

Purple drank?

Unshriven · 23/05/2019 17:22

No teenagers interested, but I'll give it a go.

How new can it be? Sounds a bit Enid Blyton.

EntirelyAnonymised · 23/05/2019 17:22

Is that sizzurp nonsense that the rappers are (allegedly) into?

Not sure it’s a big problem over here, is it?

PlinkPlink · 23/05/2019 17:24

Ah yes, booked sweets. Who doesn't love them? wtaf are they

There's not many that know how to make illegal drugs with booked sweets and lemonade. Top secret darkweb stuff, that is.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 23/05/2019 17:25

For info, I presume this is what OP's blathering about.

iklboo · 23/05/2019 17:29

Not entirely sure you can get that cough syrup over here - certainly not in 'sitting in the park getting wrecked' quantities.

I make my own gin with booked boiled sweets.

Breathlessness · 23/05/2019 17:29

I don’t think teenagers are checking news sites for the recipe. Also, if they’re buying liquid codeine online and getting it shipped to their home, they can probably source their own sweets and pop to go with it.

Saucery · 23/05/2019 17:31

It was Coca-cola and some tablet in my day. I can’t even remember which tablet you were supposed to use. Not Mentos, that’s just for volcanoes.
Rappers using cough syrup is quite amusing. Dress it up how you want, you’re just like some little old Victorian lady whacked off your tits on opioids. How very kewl Hmm

SouthWestmom · 23/05/2019 17:35

Ok you've all made me laugh. Just really irritated me with the constant recipe giving on every news bulletin.

PM me for a sample 😂

I sort of get what you mean. It’s like the gas canisters, where they made sure everyone knew exactly how and where to buy them and what to ask for. But the youngsters already know I suppose - it’s more helpful information for us parents.

I bet it’s a bit sickly.

AhhhHereItGoes · 23/05/2019 17:38

I thought purple drank was so 2017 now?

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 23/05/2019 17:38

It was Coca-cola and some tablet in my day. I can’t even remember which tablet you were supposed to use.

Aspirin.

PlinkPlink · 23/05/2019 17:43

@MilkTwoSugarsThanks

What happens if you combine those two? 🤔🤔

FiremanKing · 23/05/2019 17:45

That’s children for you. You can’t get them to take ‘yucky’ cough medicine for love not money and then when they’re 14, they’re up in their bedroom knocking it back with a can of sprite.
