I'm a bit worried about this hazardous candy... |
|
If it hasn't come to a Home Depot near you, it will.
We're starting to sell snack foods! You should SEE the numbers! Right now we're doing $2500 a week in this stuff, which isn't bad for a subcategory full of under-one-dollar items, and it's getting bigger every week.
We get the food from a vendor who sends it in totes labeled with the vendor's name, an inscription "this tote for edible product only," and a big ORM-D (means "Other Regulated Material--Domestic" and it's a hazardous-material category) right under the "edible product" line.
ORM-D normally covers cleaning products, spray paints and the like, so I'm a bit curious. I mean, I know the shit we're selling is bad for you but let's be real, it won't instantly kill you the way some of the items on ORM-D do. Maybe if they ship aerosol cheese? Is that considered hazmat?

Are you serious? Everybody needs to know about this. On the other hand, have you ever seen the labeling for a Cheetos shipment? Maybe it's exactly the same.

2. Maybe it's durian-flavored candy. |
|
Someone gave me some once, and that stuff should be labelled ORM-D.
:scared:

3. Is it from the Whizzo Chocolate Company? |
|
With names like Crunchy Frog and Ram's Bladder Cup? That would explain the ORM-D classification.

4. Crunchy Frog isn't ORM-D |
|
Crunchy Frog is UN Class 6.2 (biohazardous substances) and Spring Surprise is UN Class 1.3 (explosives with a minor blast hazard).
Definitely not ORM-D.
This stuff's not from Whizzo Chocolates, though; it's just Snickers bars and beef jerky.
