Welcome to our game show folks ([Opening theme music](http://blogfiles.wfmu.org/KF/2006/02/bat/10_-_Sun_Ra_and_the_Blues_Project_-_Batmobile_Wheels.mp3)). You (yes **YOU** ) could win bigg Kash and Prises by correctly predicting what the authorities will [ban](http://www.necn.com/11/25/10/FDA-looks-to-ban-caffeinated-alcohol-dri/landing_health.html?blockID=360638&feedID=4210) next to protect our [youth](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh2sWSVRrmo) from using [products](http://www.medpagetoday.com/PrimaryCare/Smoking/16080) they legally cannot posses in the first place. Our first contestant is Paulus K. Beitz of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Paulus predicts the next item up for attack by those that would protect us from ourselves will be ([drumroll)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t925JwYXhVA): [whipping cream](http://microliquor.com/cream-alcohol-infused-whipped-cream/) with alcohol in it. Some Senator will go ape shit the first time a high school student keels over from eating too many adult version cream puffs. What do the rest of you bid? Thanks for playing! ---

**Four Loko** (high alcohol energy drink) is getting banned now. Would have been my answer, but the banning is underway. I’ll go for: Toys in Happy Meal and other similar products ---

> [@The\_Conqueror\_Worm](#): > > Canned whipping cream has something better behind it than alcohol. _not gonna tell ya if you don’t know_ Yes, and in many places using it in that way has been banned, and buying that “something” by itself has been banned, or at very last the use of it for entertainment purposes have been banned. ---

Some Senator will go ape shit the first time a high school student keels over from eating too many adult version cream puffs. Nitpick: that’s whipp_ed_ cream. Whipp_ing_ cream is cream that is suitable for whipping (ie., has about 35% butterfat).
