“Going out to smoke a fag” means a VERY different thing in the UK to the US.
As does bumming a fag
Always reminds me of that clerk’s episode
They later renamed these to “Fads”
Where they?
Seen em around lately?
Thinking it over it’s kinda shocking that we had play cigarettes. Then again David Lynch started smoking at 8.
(Yes, that’s a real, lit cigarette)
I used to, but I haven’t smoked a fag in thirty years.
I hate removed’s, always spreading diseases through people throats
I also hate removeds
Yeah I remember eating fags during dinner break at school with my mates, some of my mates like to suck on them and savour it, but I just swalled them quickly so I could have more. And we had to find somewhere secluded to do it so the dinner ladies wouldn’t catch us.
Fags contain Glucose, lmao
They’re sweet.
In Canada it was a slur for religious people but I think that’s gone out of favour and been replaced with the American meaning of gay
The ones we had were wrapped in paper and you could blow in one end to make a little sugar/corn starch “smoke cloud” come out.
I remember, vaguely, that a lake resort my aunt runs (ran?) had something similar, and we aren’t even in a backwater, middle of nowhere area of the US. Candy cigarettes in the 2000s seems insane looking back. Hell, pretty sure one of the last times I was there in the 2010s they still had them for sale.
I think I remember these. They were a low quality chocolate stick wrapped in paper. I didn’t like them. I think I got that they were preying on kid’s desire to ape adult behaviours but I may be conflating a decade of memories.
I think you’re thinking of a different product - these were white candy sticks made from corn starch and sugar/syrup. Your comment on the behavior is dead on, though!
Maybe so. I don’t remember the packaging half as clearly as I do the crappy chocolate.
Playtime is the time for Fags ಠᴗಠ
Censoring the title makes the word worse than it is. Change my mind.
I think in a way thats the point.
Here in middle east/Arabic counties ppl call black people slaves and dont mean just as an insult. it is so common that as i kid i thought it was a name of a tribe
I think it was originally a racist thing but it got so ingrained into our culture it kind of isn’t anymore.
It’s more like servant no?
Agreed. Also why didn’t OP censor every mention of it in the picture. I’m deeply offended /s
Some instances have automod for certain words. OP was just trying to post without getting caught in the filters. Be angry at the instances, not the OP.
I tried posting it uncensored but it doesn’t allow me
Find a new instance. Lemmy.ml is pro-tankie. That alone is a good excuse to jump ship.
We got maga basement dwellers on Lemmy wtf
disgusting
Without looking at the thumbnail, I was wondering if it’s Fag, Feg, Fig, Fog, Fug, or really F*g.
