Just When You Thought You Heard It All News (4-2-2016)

One bowl of this stuff is sure to wake you up, wire you up and mess you up.

Two men were arrested Tuesday after a traffic stop led police in Florida to discover an unusual prize inside a package of cereal.

Police say Efren Zuniga,19, and Jose Moreno, 24, had more than 500 grams of cocaine wrapped up in a cereal box, according to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office.

Authorities said they had help from a K-9, who sniffed out the breakfast of convicted champions after the suspects were pulled over for a faulty equipment violation.

“When deputies opened the cereal box, they discovered approximately 514 grams of powder cocaine,” police said. “That amount of cocaine has a street value of approximately $14,000.00 to $16,000.00.”

Police also said that Zuniga had cocaine in his pocket.

The Honey Grahams branded box was found stuffed inside a duffel bag on the back seat, police said.

Zuniga and Moreno are charged with cocaine trafficking. Both were being held in the Putnam County Jail on a bond of $150,000.00.

The Easter bunny was good to Matt Stonie.

The competitive eater known as “Megatoad” posted a video to YouTube on Friday that shows him downing 200 disgusting sugary Peeps in a little more than 14 years, doubling his previous record. In the process, he swallowed about 5,600 calories worth of the bird-shaped marshmallows, or 1,360 grams of sugar.

Though Stonie is no stranger to gastrointestinal challenges — some of his past feats include eating a fivepound burrito, 182 slicesof bacon and seven Shamrock Shakes from McDonald’s — he definitely appeared to struggle.

“My tongue is so saturated with sugar, oh my god,” he moaned just before hitting the 100-Peep marker.

Once he reached the last few birds, Stonie appeared to gag at times and looked a little green.

“He started off with smiles,” someone behind the camera jabbed as Stonie appeared woozy over an emptied bowl.

Although he managed to eat all 200 marshmallow treats — beating his last record of 100.  Stone expressed some disappointment over his time, along with physical disgust.

“It took a little longer than I thought it would,” he said.

Here’s hoping he can keep all that marshmallow fluff down.

It was more than just a few bad eggs. More like a few bad parents.

A free Easter egg hunt that was supposed to be a fun event for children turned into chaos on Saturday as unruly parents stormed the field, pushing, shoving and even stealing children’s candy from their baskets, outraged parents and organizers say.

“The parents just bum-rushed that area,” Nichole Welch said of the scene outside the PEZ Visitor Center in Orange, Connecticut. “When my son left, he had a broken basket and was hysterically crying.”

The center’s general manager, Shawn Peterson, said event organizers had spread more than 9,000 eggs across three fields that were sectioned off per age group. Before kids had a chance to start hunting, however, greedy  parents were racing on the field to gobble up the candy-filled eggs.
