    Hmm...
    Please elaborate.

    I don't quite fully understand.
    I'm assuming they have alcohol in them or something...?

    But... but.... why??? WAI???

    You're 20, and got IDed for HUMBUGS, and I've only just turned 18, and yet can walk into a bar and order a Strongbow?

    I'm confused too.

    Nope, none whatsoever. sugar, glucose syrup, flavourings, colourings. That's all. That's why it's weird.

    If it made sense I'd have not made a thread about it. xD

    Yep. =] Then again, I pointed out how silly it was and got away without being IDed - because the worst of it was... I'm not old enough to buy them! Apparently Debenhams says you have to be 21 to buy a jar of mint humbugs!

    What's IDed mean...?
    Like.. they asked for your ID?
    Is ID an acronym or something?

    Seeing IDed over and over again is making me mad because if it is an acronym, no one will type the whole phrase.

    Yes, it means being asked for ID.

    Wow, that is weird. Maybe they were getting your address to stalk you. :slight_smile:

    On a similar topic, does it offend anyone when a younger person asks you for identification? I'm a cashier and often have to do this. Some people are happy, while others seem pretty angry. It's interesting.

    This confuses me greatly. And I thought it was weird enough that I should still have to carry ID when I want to buy booze, even though I've been a legal drinker for 6 years...

    I've been IDed for benign purchases, but only to check my credit/debit card...

    You got IDed for humbugs, and I bought alcohol (for a present) at 17 without a second glance. And I look younger than I am. Weird.

    I still get ID'd for cigarettes if it's any consolation and I've been 18 for months now.

    I don't get IDed for anything... US or Germany.

    I pierced my nose when I got to Germany. The man asked if I was 18, I said yes and he just believed me.
    I went to an 18 only gay club here. The man just let me in, but IDed Sal who was actually of age.
    And in the US, my friends ask me to buy cigs for them since no one ever ID's me.

    Because Reese's Pieces are horrible (and hard to get in England anyways) and neither would really make a good Christmas present for my Nan.
