Stronger than Fent. Bloody hell. Fent was terrifying enough.

So I was curious what the hell is up with it. So here's what I found on The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners websiteabout them..


quote:

Nitazenes are similar to the drug fentanyl, which has led to unprecedented deaths in North America.

Fentanyl is the prescription opioid that caused Prince’s death in 2016. Some are similar to fentanyl in strength, while others can be up to 50 times stronger than fentanyl.


However, there are concerns this new class of drugs, the nitazenes, may be different. Nitazenes were developed and tested in the 1950s by pharmaceutical companies, but unlike fentanyl, did not proceed to therapeutic use due to their poor safety profile.

In contrast to fentanyl, where medical use has led to a good understanding of its effects, there is comparatively limited research on nitazenes.
... hmm okay, so not great stuff to mistakenly ingest is what i'm hearing here.

I've got friends who are obsessed with tourist trap "big things" and you can bet they'll be complaining about this amd how it's not big enough to count as a 'big thing'. They're members of Facebook groups about Big Things and there'll probably be dumb arguments about this on those pages

But I have never been in a flood. That poo poo scares me. The worst i have been in was when I was in Chennai dueing monsoon season, and the gutters backed up. And that was bad enough.

Weirdly enough they went in the opposite direction and tried selling a vegetarian Chiko roll a few years ago, which their typical fan base apparently hated because sales were terrible so dropped it pretty quickly.

They got bought out by US mega-corporation Simplot about 20 years ago, that corp also own Bird's Eye, Chicken Tonight, I&J, John West, Leggo's, etc etc etc.

I'm halfway convinced they're an urban legend we created to fool tourists, like drop bears

I've never eaten one and I can't ever recall anyone I know talking about eating them. Pretty much every rundown fish & chip shop I've ever visited had a Chiko Roll poster on the wall but I never saw anyone order one

There's nowhere they sell them where that's what I'd pick off the menu. Any fish and chip shop is gonna have fried fish, crab claws, seafood sticks, scallops, prawns, calamari - they'd have to be the shittiest little fish and chips shop in Broken Hill for a Chiko Roll to be the best thing on the menu.

They're a bygone product from a bygone era.

That and they're gross.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Growing up we had golden fleece map of Australia on the bathroom wall. It wasn't till me teenage years I finally got around to asking what the hell golden fleece was.

My parents also had a world map that was brought when the USSR was still a thing, it remained at my parents house also on the bathroom wall till like two years ago'ish.
