Beware of What You Buy Through the Mail

“Boom,” a type of chocolate that said it contained “plant-based food supplements” actually contained sildenafil -- a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction sold under various names, including Viagra.

The “Boom” chocolates were distributed between March 2006 and November 2007 through the Yoi Jin Sei company in the United States, Australia, Colombia, Switzerland, Russia, Argentina, Japan and Slovakia.

Tibor Liska, who sold about 12,000 packets of the chocolate a month, has been charged with mail fraud and could be sentenced to a maximum of 20 years behind bars, and a fine of $250,000, if found guilty.

If this product is still available, look for sales to increase in size dramatically.

What is really awful about this is that the women are warned not to physically come in contact with Viagra or similar products. As we well know, the long standing attraction that women have to chocolate, who is being targeted for this product --("Boom” chocolates?) Interesting how that is.

Not to mention, if women are not to come in contact with Viagra how does that work when every cell in the body in saturated by the drugs we put into our bodies. I would not be surprised to hear, in the future, that men taking Viagra and similar products have caused problems for their partners via their semen.
