Lazy Cakes

The JT Irregulars have posted numerous blogs about relaxation drinks, and we've even received some free samples to try out and blog about:

Therefore, this headline caught my eye tonight, "U.S. state riled up over 'relaxation' brownie." The story is from Reuters: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/17/us-brownies-ban-idUSTRE74G5FY20110517 It states:

"Two towns in the state of Massachusetts are moving to ban sales of a 'relaxation' brownie named Lazy Cakes, laced with melatonin and sold in food markets, after children who ate them required hospitalization.

"The mellowing chocolate treats, which sell for $3 to $5 at food stores and some night clubs, are legal but contain nearly 8 milligrams of the supplemental sleep aid, which is about 25 times the usual amount prescribed for adults."

Of course, I had to see if Lazy Cakes has a site, and, of course, they do: http://www.mylazycakes.com/

Now I'm just hoping that the Sheriff sends this blog to the people at Lazy Cakes and they send us some sample brownies to blog about. We could hand them out at the next get-together. Please, don't try your brownie until you get home, unless you have a designated driver and someone to carry you out to the car.

    My chemo-therapy cookies are better! Lazy, anti nausea, and munchies TOO.

    Personally, I'd be much more inclined to consume hucks medicinal cookies instead of those brownies. The iChill and minichill had a horrible after taste that lingered into the next day. Truthfully, I didn't notice any relaxation from either product. Natural is always better than pumping yourself full of unnecessary chemicals.

    I just saw a doctor's report on CNN about the Lazy stuff. He stated the Melatonin they contain could be dangerous, when combined with other drugs your taking?

    Huck, I got some anti-nausea pills from my gastroenterologist. They work great, except that they take a half hour or longer to kick in. They were designed for people in chemo, to be taken before treatments.

    I think I've had your kind of cookies before. Yum.

    I'd like to try Lazy Cakes and write a review. Huck, you could compare one to your cookies.
