Head shops closing down, but Aldi take over

redsteveireland

Saw these on sale today. Is there anything you can't buy in there?:D

biko

Got them in there, very nice.

Dennis the Stone

Those look nice.

Huh?? What has the head shop got to do with M&M coated biscuits?

mike65

Disco biscuits

Those aldi disco biscuits would be far nicer without the caramel. Just biscuit, chocolate and smarties.

When I was growing up a disco was the cool name for a discotheque; we had the "roller disco" the "ice-skating disco" and "de disko".

And a biscuit was a feckin' biscuit.


Neither of them was a feckin' pill for wasters. I can assure you on that, horse.

Just a word of warning lads. Two of these is more than enough.

I have never been in a head shop for your info. this was a light hearted joke about the mistakes companies can make when naming a biscuit without realising that it is an old name for 'pills' back in the 90's.

They used to sell "sense of humour" in headshops too. But seeing as you were never in one & that they are now banned, I'm afraid you may never be able to get one.

I thought i was the only one who used that term.

Shopping amongst the great unwashed would dampen anyone's spirits.

It's hilarious, but I think only people of a certain age will get it.

Pretty much, but i meant in recent times. I used to hear it all the time but feck all people use it now. Far better name than "yokes" ever was.

mike65

I'd guess not many below about 30-35 will know the term.

Really? I'm 25 and I was aware of the name. I like the galway term 'jiggers' new a guy called up there called pink jiggers paul (or PJP) but thats a story for another day

I think most would, though it's only used in a tongue-in-cheek manner now

Am I the only one that assumed this post was bathed in sarcasm, and found the replies to it quite funny?

A "friend" of mine is soon about to open a gardening shop in Dublin. He will be selling plant supplements, plant growth helpers and pond cleaners. How these products help their gardens is up to the consumer but we will hope the fish/amphibians are doing well.

Lets get rid of this headshop curse, fish is the way;)

I've had three packs, still nothing...**** Mary Harney!!!

The headshops are not banned only mephedrone and a few other substances are the one in bray is still open the headshops won't be banned outright until next month.

Also that packaging and the name are priceless
How havent people heard of the term Disco Biscuits?
I'm 19 and I have heard it many many times

My old primary school teacher warned us about disco biscuits. She said that they were given out in nightclubs by criminals and we all had to be very careful, as they aren't real biscuits and you could eat them by mistake. I don't know why the phuck she thought a class of nine year olds might manage to get into some seedy nightclub looking for biscuits to eat. (Or how you could eat a pill thinking it was a biscuit.) What a stupid bint.
