I few more details there. Apparently there was a trend on ~The tok~ with children eating spicy chips in Germany that got them hospitalized, and as a precaution the Danes took these noodles with are more spicy of the shelves.

A bit more understandable now but still .. wut? If kids eat tide pods we don't remove tide pods.

More specifically, a consumer asked the authorities if they should be legal, and then they investigated.

in that case the product was also not really intended to be eaten as food. it was one single tortilla chip in a plastic bag sold for 10 euros (IIRC).

Kids huff paint and we restrict sales of spray cans.

Wait, what? They inhale the paint? I thought it was restricted because of tagging and such.

How do you inhale paint? Why am I so old?

I think it is very old thing, like 80s or before old. Various paint thinners can give drug like effects when inhaled. And then some products might contain nitrous oxide as pressurising gas.

Spray inside a paper bag and breath into it. Never seen It's always sunny in Philadelphia? That's how Charlie composed his musical Day Man...

Oh... ahh....

I don't think its got anything to do with you're age, huffing glue/paint/gas has been thing for decades. Maybe just a little out of touch.

Is this some kind of "asking for a friend" question? /s :-)
