Dear Nintendo Power Mints

[Chillalex]

FUCK. I bought some nintendo power mints last friday, they came in a tin the shape of a NES controller. Bonzer!

After promptly eating half the tin at once (Addictive!) I discovered one of what I would find to be two things.

One; they dont taste like mints, just pure sugar.

The second facet I would discover later in the day.

Two; they give you tooth abscesses.

These fucking things hurt like a cunt, seriously. If youve never had one, you wont know. I've experienced some shitty things in my time but this took the biscuit; painkillers do NOT work, the only thing that works is taking a cold drink every two minutes. As a result I developed a fever, projectile vomiting and near-migraine headache.

Come sunday I'm suppressing it slightly with well timed codeine/ibuprofen double attacks, which I've been doing until today, when its come back and kicked my ass. I'm now back from the hospital, got some antibiotics, and it'll clear up soon, but to reiterate:

Nintendo power mints are shit.

[Chillalex]

For the sake of discussion:

Anyone ever tried these fuckgoofs?

Anyone ever had a dental abscess?

[Subrick]

Where do you get them from? They're the perfect prank.

[Smacktalks]

I've never seen in the shops, if I see them i'll try them.

I already feel pretty fucked at the minute so it shouldn't make muuch difference to me.

[Chillalex]

Nah believe me, an abscess is well over the realms of "pretty fucked". I feel pretty fucked at the moment, and I'm at the peak of where painkillers are going to ever get me with this, and I'm THANKFUL I feel like this and not as I had done.

Nintendo power mints are not to be fucked with!

I got mine from Forbidden Planet. I dont think they come with a 100% Guarantee of fucking you over, but given how much sugar they were (Read; pure.) then they cant do much good.

[Subrick]

So, biting into one of those fuckers is like biting into Sugarcane taken right out of the ground?

[Smacktalks]

Aint been to Forbidden Plant in about 2 years now, might have a look in at the weekend.

I'm guessing they were imported from the US?

i'd still advise a dentist visit, but, and i swear by this,.....

whiskey is ur best friend, it proper kills the pain and tastes good. and no, i dont mean get plastered and you'll not feel it ( tho that too is a valid option ) but have a JD or 2, or whatever ur favorite 1 is, hell even southern comfort, morgans spice... even vodka helps, but have a drink or 2, it'll make u feel better, and not just in the short term.

[Chillalex]

nah

got violently sick on JD once, slept in my sick. Since then I can't even smell whiskey without wretching.

I need to go to the dentist after my infection clears up, which hopefully is just a few days now (thank FUCK.) Doesnt stop the fact I've gotta give a presentation tomorrow morning whilst in agony, though.

Edit: and because I'm so up against it, deadline wise, I cant afford to get drunk at all. I had thought of it though.

Just to clear something up, as a religious JD drinker I would like to make it clear that it is NOT fucking Whiskey.

[Chillalex]

oh wow, calm down, I got a drink wrong on the internet!

I seriously hope your referring to some unknown other "JD" drink because if not as Don would say you should be dragged onto the street and shot.

[Aero]

fuck up, its a whiskey, the most common one, no.7 is a mixture of othe jack daniels whiskeys or something but its still a whiskey... i dare say even the JD website says it is. master jack is sooooo much better tho, but a bastard to get over here.

[CS]

Its Tennessee Whiskey which is really just bourbon whiskey thats been distilled different.

The one thing I don't understand was the whole "religious JD drinker" part. Like for being a "religious drinker" he'd notice it says "WHISKEY" in big white letters on the bottle.

[Trips]

No I ment it as in religious drinker, its not whiskey its a god. You get me?

So fuck off.

[CS]

You suck, I win.

[Heart Breaker]

The only thing my home state of Tennessee is known for.

w00t!

[phil]

Don't forget Jerry Lawler, HB. And good luck with the tooth problems, Chillalex.

[Subrick]

And Elvis.

[Chillalex]

yo cheers

I survived it (lol barely.) but it might come back, so its a battle of wits against me and it for a month until I've got the time to go dentist hunting.

[bigpoppn]

Nintendo Power Mints?I never saw them in stores.

Then again, I live in the middle of nowhere.

[Big Bizang]

It's a whiskey not a whisky if that clears anything up...
