I remember getting a pack and rubbing into my Doberman's gums.
It went mental for about 10 minutes and tried to savage anyone that came near it.
I just sat in the downstairs loo laughing hysterically at the "Help!" shrieks from little sister, interspersed with the skittering of dog-claws on kitchen tile and hurtling footfalls of fleeing baby sister.
Ah to be young and dangerously stupid again
The Forbidden by Barker?
Hmmm, could have sworn it was five times, although the film could be misleading me ("candyman" 13 times on film is bound to bore the audience)
My younger brother was sensitive to a certain type of E number (crushed red beetle extract I think) and it gave him a speed like buzz.
He used to basically bounce off walls for a couple of hours, talk garbage, then get a major comedown.
Space dust was my favorite. I never had the nuts to eat it while drinking coke though. I suppose its the same as saying "Candyman" in front of the mirror 5 times. Always get to 4, but the *niggle* that something might happen always stops me. Pathetic I know........
Think of the insane kids shows we watched: Jamie & The Magic Torch, Chorlton & The Wheelies, Ludwig, Magic Roundabout etc etc.

Yeah, and you got the old dumb kid that thought he had won a free pack of crisps, only to be shocked that he got covered in salt when he ripped open the sachet.
Fine until you hit those few remaining crisp-shards, that happen to be almost soggy with accumalated salt and vinegar powder.
Place in mouth, gills instantly sting and mouth shrinks to the size of a catass.
