60s were a more experimental time and that's probably the only explanation for how a product like hippie sippy ever made it onto shelves you might have done it did you retract [Laughter] the sweet treat consisted of multi-colored chocolate balls that were contained within a vial they certainly look like they belong at a festival and to get to them you had to suck through the needle suck through the needle i haven't done this the similarities to drug use weren't accidental but were in fact the whole point of this candy it was designed to replicate hippie drug culture syringe being associated with heroin use and the colors representing uppers and downers to make things even worse each hippie sippy came with a button that had slogans such as hippie sippy says i'll try anything and we sell happiness this is for harry this is this is a sweet vary oh dude now i'm i've got a favorite needle so i wouldn't be able to have this unfortunately needless to say scents prevailed and the products were pulled from the shelves less than a year after being released making drug use feel fun to children clearly risks them moving on to harder candies later in life so this could have potentially been one of the most dangerous products to ever have been developed buff the whole generation of drug addicts number nine kinder eggs and wonder balls this is [ __ ] this is this is kinder eggs it's [ __ ] [ __ ] it's [ __ ] [ __ ] mate on the toy isn't it if your baby's gonna choke on a toy it was a stupid baby anyway yeah like don't take the don't take the toys out on kinder eggs don't take the toys out the kids mental it's never a normal video with the sidemen let's continue before we justified more accidentally the only way chocolate could be made any better for kids is if it includes a plastic toy to play with once all the sugary goodness is gone that's exactly what kinder eggs and wonderballs tried to offer the kinder version is available around the world and each one contains a plastic but for a long time they've been banned in the us it's all because of a law that was introduced in the 1930s that strictly prohibited non-nutrition from being embedded within any type of food it does make sense it doesn't make sense harry you've just called people's baby stupid yeah i should be harry's lawyer in 2016 a three-year-old girl in france died after choking on a toy in a kinder egg and there have been a number of instances elsewhere where injuries have happened because of swallowing the plastic figurines yes yeah if you're a kid and you're eating this egg and there's stuff in it you're gonna think you can eat it as well right [Laughter] that's what i'm saying maybe i'll be the stupid kid after all number eight toxic waste chew bar oh chocolate waste really toxic waste they had two bars they had two bars when you guys were at school did like did you ever eat like see somebody toxic waste of their mouth bleed bro of course i did yeah it starts cutting the inside of your mouth yeah wait the mouth bled vic i was that kid bro that is me what do you mean did you see it i felt it you merely adopted the toxic waste i was born raised by it i used to buy barrels of it and just going to school toxic waste candy has become popular recently because of its extreme sourness but there was one product in the range the toxic waste nuclear sludge chew bar that was banned in 2011. it had been originally launched in 2007 but there were serious concerns about the ingredients that were used to make the candy not as you might suspect in regards to how they made it so sour but more as a result of where and how they were produced oh the company's factory was in pakistan and following tests the fda revealed that they had detected significant levels of lead within the chew infants bars pregnant women regulations require lead levels to be below 0.1 parts per million and the bars were found to have at least three times this limit candy dynamics the company that sells the toxic waste range of candies complied with the recall the bars were removed from stores all right so realistically though i've definitely done worse things to my body so i'm trying to eat some lead so i bet there's hundreds of thousands of these if they got recalled somewhere all right uh if you want to eat one mate i'll we can try and source one and we'll munch it i'm down if you men do it first i'll do it i mean me and bog to try lead filled nuclear sludge how many likes how many do we normally get 300k likes are me and e for more munchies and if you can sort of try this one yeah oh no wait there's no trying here we will source ourselves don't you worry as soon as lockdown's over harry's on a flight to pakistan he's at the factory knocking on the door got it in bars number seven roadkill gummy candy there are countless different versions of gummy candy available in stores and in 2004 kraft thought they had come up with an idea that would help them stand out among the rest roadkill themed gummy candies each one was in the shape of chickens squirrels and snakes with tire tracks on them what they ended production of the treats the following year after a series of campaigns by animal rights activists one time they trivialized the idea of injuring animals beep to show mercy [Laughter] someone in that company sat down at a board meeting and said guys we've got this great idea we can make our candy look like animals that have been run over are we stuck in it what's that gone through how's that going and we'll call it roadkill gummies i like it i see i don't i don't get the whole the whole thing against it like always i think the reaction is over the top but the through fears that the product sent a message to children that it was okay to harm animals craft was forced to relent and rethink their strategy number six lucas mexican candy candy from south america is one of the most in-demand products around the world but a company called lucas began targeting their products at children they got all that sugar cane what what wait what what do you mean sugarcane thick they got all that all that white powder what fresh powder you say yeah bloody hell the powdered candy was sold in a shaker container that children would use to shake it into their mouths others were seen shaking the powder onto a table arranging it into a line and then sniffing it i don't know well the kids were sniffing lightly wait wait wait there's sniffing lines i think you were right is that power bro i'm fresh lucas similarity with drug use lucas claimed that this was the result of using the product wrong and then it was designed to be lightly sprinkled on fruit to make it taste better but they should have known that kids might find healthy way of consuming it the company's undoing in the end wasn't because they were teaching children how to partake in adult candy though but because of what their products contained tests showed that it had more than twice the allowed levels of lead and was so immediately banned that blasted letters come back to bite them again i reckon it'll be in like the coloring or something snorting lead number five haribo sugar-free gummy bears huh haribo is one of the world's most popular candy brands but despite making plenty of products that kids and grown-ups love they haven't always gotten things right in 2014 their sugar-free gummy bears gained attention because of some rather unfortunate side effects that were experienced by people who ate them in large quantities the reason for this was the replacement of the sugar used in normal recipes with lycosin a substance that's almost as sweet as sugar but contains half the calories its main ingredient is malatol which is a sugar alcohol but our bodies can't fully digest it and if it's present in high enough quantities it can start to ferment in the stomach oh no because of this the amazon reviews were rather detailed diarrhea while driving [Laughter] here we go a few moments of self-reflection i decided to strip off my shirts and lay them on the seat of my truck and get inside i cracked my yes officer i crapped my pants that's what the smell is tears streaming down my face i finally arrived home screeching to a halt in the driveway in front of the open and automatic garage door i triggered as i was drifting the curve onto my road holding the bottoms of my pant legs closed tight i awkwardly stagger into my house and immediately into the shower fully clothed lovely sounds like harry sort of tore the shenanigans no no no no no i have the other one saying that it caused intestinal distress and reminiscent of trumpets calling demons back to hell number four exploding gum okay candy companies are always coming up with new varieties of tried and tested favorites but there is such a thing as going too far a ukrainian chemistry student learned this to his cost in 2009 after super charging his bubble gum with tragic results he liked to increase the sour taste of his favorite brand so he would often dip it into citric acid before chewing oh my god on this occasion however he used the wrong powder dipped it in explosives all it took was one chew and his gum exploded his jaw i don't know the situation how do you have explicit acid next to the explosive powder yeah how do you misplace your citric acid for your sweets with explosives this sounds like a folktale you know one of them yeah i've heard this story before though it might be i have heard this and most of the lower part of his face were blown clean off and he died soon after and on his eye needless to say this particular recipe for gum won't be making its way onto shelves anytime soon number three free candy okay you might think that the best kind of candy is free candy in madrid spain the traditions of giving any sweet treats for free has actually been banned on the 5th of january each year towns across the country hold a christmas parade called cavagatta de reyes which sees three wise men greeting children before handing out gifts the men are taken through the streets to a church in a carriage and part of the tradition involves throwing candy from the carriage into the crowds it has however led to a number of injuries as children scrambled to collect what they can and in 2013 a six-year-old boy in malaga was killed when he went into the street to collect some candy and was hit by the carriage rules are now in place to prevent such a tragedy from ever happening again that's another one that's really bad once people throw pennies at a wedding when the car's driving off i'm like that's how someone's cruising for a bruising you've got little kids eating wait is that a point yeah and pennies yeah yeah it's the uh who was it they threw pennies out in the football match we have heard none right now yeah yeah they throw it barefootballers cut his like eyes open yeah didn't mike dean not get one to the eyebrow or something i think so yeah so they still throw pennies at the car yeah um the tradition of tossing a handful of coins to the wedding rest is thought to bring good luck and prosperity to the groom and his what his bride bring it up [ __ ] part is it their car if you drop like a 20 pence piece off the empire state building and slice through something right oh yeah yeah yeah yeah no it won't why boys it no they bounce it'll just bounce off their head you might give them no i i think yeah it won't go through them but i think it will do damage bounce off of me or bounce off them no it will not if you drop a penny all right let's do it from an empire state building no no let's not do that because i'm not trying to catch a buddy no no no i'm no no let's check this out according to myth a penny drop will kill someone but is it true i just don't remember the penny just can't gather enough velocity to do any real harm oh right oh wow life's a lie good job harry myth busting bulk no worries that's number two lollipipe even though lollipipes were never intended to be sold to children their availability in a wide range of flavors meant that it was inevitable that kids would get their hands on them and this posed a real problem it looks like a sex toy i was gonna say that yeah made from candy these pipes were designed for smoking certain substances through and one of their marketing claims was that they were flame proof so could be used time and time again right bog no no if these have been recorded get yourself on one of these this resulted in this now we're making an increase by underage people would it not melt as you lit it though no it just said they're like fireproof or something aren't they the [ __ ] but those who really want one having to rely on purchasing them online it's a black market for them candy box oh my god it smells so good candy cigarettes whoa that's expensive candy cigarettes first began to be sold in the late 1800s and were made from sugar gum or chocolate did you guys ever used to have the uk versions of these that were like the candy sticks right yeah with a lighter setting sugar on fire bro oh you did it with a lighter yeah proper like we just wait until it's cold just blow out like air and let that we used to like actually try and smoke it mate oh my god did it well it didn't smoke right no no harry but you you'd suck in for the life of you just to try and kill something wrapped in a paper in a pack that resembled a box of cigarettes some varieties even included powdered sugar that you could blow through the candy stick to simulate smoke they began to be seen as a way to desensitize children to the idea of smoking however just like dad no those cigarettes won't work for me these collaborations became less common and the products have now been banned in virtually every country around the world apart from the us and canada studies have shown that a surprising percentage of smokers had candy cigarettes when they were younger compared to people who don't smoke so the link between the two has been proved to be significant wait wait wait the [ __ ] cigarette is called chesterfuck luck that's that's just a vlog [Laughter] what seems like an innocent children's treat is probably responsible for the most deaths of any candy ever and it's no surprise that very few places now allow them to be sold first respect respect you say respect okay you're saying respect anymore all right well don't be watching them oh and ethan we're gonna try and source that um yeah if it hits how many legs 300k okay 300k let's get it done [Music] you
