Under consumer pressure, the Hershey Company is discontinuing “Ice Breakers Pacs” because of their strong resemblance to street drugs.

Ice Breakers Pacs remain on store shelves but are expected to be sold out early this year and no more are being made, [Hershey CEO David J.] West said. Kirk Saville, a company spokesman, said they had been distributed nationally on a limited basis.

Hershey has said the mints were not intended to resemble anything, and West said consumers who tested and purchased the product liked it.

Well, if it wasn’t intended, that is the most coincidental cocaine look-alike bag I’ve ever see….er, I mean, I’ve heard they resemble cocaine bags very closely.

Perhaps Hershey & Co. should double-check the marketing department’s drug-screening results. Just a thought.
