HuffPo - If you still feel an urge for more after polishing off a tub of ice cream, you may be experiencing addiction cravings similar to those of dependent drug users, recent research suggests. A study from the Oregon Research Institute adds to previous research findings that found junk food and high fat and sugary foods can become addictive when eaten on a regular basis. The scientists looked at a particular brand of ice cream to investigate the effects it has on the brain. The study, involving 151 teenagers, found that when ice cream was eaten to excess, the chemicals in the food tampered with the brain's reward response, reducing the ‘feel good’ boost, making them want more.
Keep all your fancy-schmancy research to yourself, Oregon Research Institute, I'll settle this one for you right now. Ice Cream is NOT as addictive as Crack, know how I know?
I've never pawned a personal belonging so I could go buy a frappe. People are not typically concerned that I may seize up or overdose after I eat a particularly delicious Dairy Queen Blizzard. I've never offered to suck dick for a kiddie-cone of mint chocolate chip. I've never stolen baby formula and tried to sell it off to neighborhood baby mama's at black market prices for two scoops of black raspberry ice cream. I've never quit my job to walk from corner to corner trying to find the cheapest two scoops in the area. And finally, I've never stashed a sugar cone up my ass crack to hide it from the po-po's.
Now, for me, I've never done any of that for crack either, but it's a bit of a different story for this guy:
This guy has pawned his children's belongs for a quick score, and people are concerned that he may die after a particularly good rock or two. He has most certainly offered to suck a strangers dick in exchange for money for drugs. He's almost certainly been arrested for stealing baby formula and trying to sell it on the black market. He's definitely quit his job in pursuit of crack and the riches of the crack dealing ponzi scheme. And finally, he absolutely stashes his crack pipe in his ass crack for safe keeping from the po-po's.
But hey, other than all that, yea I guess ice cream and crack are sort of similar...
