And yes, that's what she gave them, technically -- though I'm not sure all Sudafed down here has pseudophedrine in it anymore. Not sure if it's like this in Canada, but a few years ago the whole thing came out about being able to use pseudophedrine (one of the main ingredients in Sudafed) to make meth. So, in an attempt to have that not happen pharmacies here DRASTICALLY cut back on your ability to get any drug that contains pseudophedrine. They carry very few that contain it (from what I've heard a lot of companies just stopped using it all together) and when you want to buy it you have to take a card up to the pharmacy counter (can't just buy off the shelves anymore) and give them your ID so they can enter it all into the computer and stuff. You're only allowed to buy so much of it in a certain amount of time too. It's a pain in the ass. I hate fricking meth-heads for it. Pseudophedrine is like the only thing that will clear out my sinuses when I'm sick and it's such a hassle to get it now since pharmacy counters are never open as long as the stores themselves.
Also, I'm not entirely sure why all the kids were so hyped up after taking it, the stuff knocks me out cold.
I too liked the It's My Life/Confessions mashup lots and lots. Which I wasn't expecting when they said that's what they were going to do. It was hilarious how they sung it like maniacs though.
