A chain video game store on Australia's Gold Coast is in hot water after offering lines of fake cocaine to its customers during the midnight launch sale of Grand Theft Auto V. In a genius move the staff at EB Games in Southport used sherbert to simulate the cocaine, racking up lines on the store counter.
EB Games has apologised for the incident via a statement:
“Regrettably, one of our EB Games store locations in Queensland set-up an unauthorised display within the store in support of the launch of the Grand Theft Auto V video game. The display included a white powdery substance that appeared to be some form of an illegal drug. We can confirm that the powdery substance was 'sherbet', a type of fizzy candy, and at no point did the store attempt to give any of the fizzy candy away. This was an isolated incident, and we apologise for any offence this may cause.”
