For a jar of mint humbugs in debenhams today.

BeautifulStranger · 17th Dec 2008, 01:40 PM

Hmm...
Please elaborate.

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

James2612 · 17th Dec 2008, 01:46 PM

Strange............. i dont think i get it!
Why would they ID you? Unless IDed means some thing different to what i understand it to be!!!

pirateninja · 17th Dec 2008, 01:51 PM

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!

Paralyzer · 17th Dec 2008, 01:59 PM

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.

Paul_UK · 17th Dec 2008, 02:07 PM

Yes, it means being asked for ID.

revolutionrock · 17th Dec 2008, 02:12 PM

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

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.

Paralyzer · 17th Dec 2008, 02:15 PM

Oh alright!
Well, why would you want those when you could have reeses pieces or twix? :/
That's what I don't get...

BeautifulStranger · 17th Dec 2008, 03:05 PM

Wait?

You have to be 21 to buy candy?
WTF Chuck!?

Apocalypte · 17th Dec 2008, 03:09 PM

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...

**Lexington** · 17th Dec 2008, 03:21 PM

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

Lex

**Maddy** · 17th Dec 2008, 03:29 PM

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.

James2612 · 17th Dec 2008, 03:50 PM

All that sugar in them, its only right to make sure your over 21!
Kids go Cr@Zy on a sugar rush!!!!!!

Way to go Debenhams!

17th Dec 2008, 03:57 PM

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

BeautifulStranger · 17th Dec 2008, 04:01 PM

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.

You could seriously be like 20 something :P
sorry

That's what I don't get...

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.
