Hi Cindy,
The headlight game warnings were around here (east coast) about 5 years
ago.
Don't know if they were true then either. The cartoon blotter acid was
around town at least 5 years ago as well, probably still is, though I
never
heard it being laced with strychnine.
An aside: thanks for the honey paints! Looking forward to trying them out!
Best,
Gretchen
Remember: stay away from those Disney characters ,unless you want to go on
a
trip.
