Woman buys box of cheap tampons, finds cocaine inside

5/4/2012

A woman in Salt Lake City who purchased a package of tampons from a discount store was shocked when she discovered packets of cocaine hidden inside. Cindy Davidson bought the tampons at a store that specializes in selling overstock and distressed merchandise and said the box looked like it was in perfect condition. But when she opened it, she found white powder wrapped in cellophane stuffed inside the applicators. Freaked out at the thought of an anthrax attack, she called police who ran tests and determined the substance was, in fact, booger sugar. The store has pulled the tampons from its shelves as police continue their investigation.
