I was heading to Pearson International Airport for a redeye flight to Amsterdam in order to give the Dutch arm of our company some training on the new software that had been installed (I'm deliberately being vague to prevent my place of work from being linked in any way to the incident that occurred). I'll set the scene: It was late winter / early spring in Toronto and the city had just been digging itself out from a late season snow-storm. ![]() Which is why it came as a shock to me to find myself incarcerated because of the Devil's Confectionery, Satan's Sweetmeat, Lucifer's Lozenges - the horror that is known as 'Haribo Sugar Free Gummy Bears". On any given day I can be found reading a crime novel on a park bench in the middle of the city, soaking in the opulence of nature while nibbling on my tuna fish sandwiches and fending off the voracious gulls and squirrels that threaten to spoil my repose. Not given to bouts of outspokenness or craving attention, and certainly not one to rock the boat. This is a cautionary tale and - unlike most of the other reviews on this product - this is a true story and its authenticity can be qualified by a small news item that appeared in the Toronto Star's local news section during the month of April in 2013, much to my chagrin. Enjoy, and fair warning, this story is not for the faint of heart. ![]() I was listening to “Oh Shit Moments” and Mark bringing up the sugar free gummy bears reminded me of the single greatest Amazon review I’ve ever read.
