They look harmless enough, the inconspicuous packets often next to the cashier at gas stations, convenience stores, beverage stores and bars. But according to consumer protection officials, that's what makes them all the more dangerous, since the powder inside contains alcohol, and a lot of it -- about 4.8 percent by volume. That is the equivalent of one to one-and-a-half glasses of liquor.

The product is called subyou, manufactured by a company in North Rhine-Westphalia, and is marketed squarely at teenagers with slogans like "taste for not much dough" and "gets a good buzz going." Add the powder to cold water, and consumers have an alcoholic drink containing either vodka or rum.

who are the ad wizards that came up with this one.

right.

it should just be "hey kids, get fucked!"

These would be great for mid-afternoon snacks at work.

Leave it to the germans. I also witnessed the following for sale at gas stations while living there:

- Margeritas or Jack-n-Cokes in 12 oz cans
- 2 Liter-sized cans of Faxe beer (also rarely available here), meant to be consumed all at once
- Beer / cola mixes aimed at teens

Except that you know the vending machine would always be empty of these, leaving you with a fucking Charleston Chew or Munchos.

I could only imagine the headache after one of these!

What's next, powdered cocaine?

This is a pretty genius idea if you want to sneak them into bars or ballparks.

This could potentially replace the BC Powders in my desk drawer.

Wodka.

in Oatmill form.

Great now astronauts can get drunk. Expect the Space Shuttle to make an erratic landing before crashing into a lamp post.

I read a comment from a chemist on Gizmodo (I think) this morning detailing why this doesn't work. All gimmick, baby.

You couldn't have told me this BEFORE I swapped out all the powdered non-dairy creamer in the office?
