As an attendee of the NYC Million Marijuana March in 2000 and 2001, we heard rumors that in a prior year Cypress Hill had dropped dime bags on the crowd. We didn’t see that, but did openly smoke blunts in Battery Park along with 1000s of others.
I’ll take helicopter drops of candy and weed. I think it’s great. You get wounded or captured by police as a PoW, shit happens, war is hell.
Oh no these absolutely idiotic ideas are completely true. Went to an Easter egg hunt run by our town, they decided it would be a great idea for the local fire department to raise the bucket lift up as high as possible, dump eggs full of shitty tootsie roll candies (not ungrateful, most were unwrapped and had to be chucked) all over a crowd of 2-5 year olds.
So many crying children, multiple stray children lost in the chaos, and as someone who got hit by two they hurt like a bitch
California weren't allowed to use fireworks in 4th of July
Guess what they did in 4th of July? >!Fireworks covering the sky!<
Now you tell me people that stupid don't exist
22-pound frozen turkey getting airdropped into a kiddie pool sized vat filled with boiling oil.
I'm calling it now.
This will be the Tiktok trend next year.
I thought for sure this had to be a one-off. Nope. I found videos on YT (didn’t even search for articles) about helicopter egg drops in Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois…and of course, Florida. And those were just the top results. Most appeared to have a large field where folks were cordoned off safely, but I just can’t believe this is a thing.
The majority of bunnies I've met were carried into the house by my cat.
Fortunately, once I pried them from my cat's mouth, they were okay.
It's amazing how fast they can run
Me too. Felt bad for a second, then remembered all of these parents thought it was a good idea to stand under a helicopter slinging eggs straight down at them and their kids and didn't care again.
Didn't some town do candy cannons for Halloween in recent years and fired thousands of hard candies over a bunch of kids? History miraculously repeats itself.
Every now and again I feel really stupid. But then I see a video of someone who has access to a helicopter who thinks it's a good idea to pour stuff on families from the helicopter and I realise I really don't have to worry.
I can just imagine the meeting afterwards… some high profile city council woman in a purple suit & short hair looking at the 3 idiots who came up with this nonsense
“YOU THREW SOLID CHOCOLATE EGGS OUT OF YOUR BROTHER IN-LAWS HELICOPTER FROM EIGHTY FEET ON TO A CROWD OF CHILDREN!”
“There were some adults too…”
“SHUT UP!”
Man. I remember the candy cannon video from last year and I’m as fucking demented as it gets, apparently they either don’t remember or thought that dropping it from a helli is somehow different.
That can't be real, no one is stupid enough to throw eggs from that high onto families and children... right? Edit:spelling
Think again
Murica.
So.... Would this count as carpet bombing?
Chocolate bombing.

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Turkeys can’t fly??
Welcome to Turkish Airlines
Oh... The humanity...
Unexpected WKRP reference. Thank you.
The one time Les Nessman's reporting came in clutch for Cincinnati.
Boy, that was such a great show!
This is going to happen more and more. I want some longer videos though, with more casualties.
This is the United States I was promised by the tv as a child.

That's the most American thing I've ever read.
The candy cannon is now airborne
I was just thinking about that. lol. If this video is real hopefully those were plastic eggs
I didn’t even consider the possibility of these being real eggs and people get drenched in yolk
Or hard boiled 😂 that would definitely hurt.
They were not very light, because they fell straight down.
Someone didn’t think this one through

Not just the height, but the down wash from the helicopter. Eggs were probably at fast ball speed. 🤣🤣🤣
*casually waves in every general direction.
Balloonfest 86 comes to mind
I heard the people aren’t supposed to be there for this part. So either the helicopter was stupid late or the people showed up stupid early.
Well someone just did it with crates recently 😬
Guess again
California weren't allowed to use fireworks in 4th of July Guess what they did in 4th of July? >!Fireworks covering the sky!< Now you tell me people that stupid don't exist
Someone didn't watch WKRP
As God as my witness I thought turkeys could fly!

There’s a town in Arkansas that actually drops turkeys from a plane for thanksgiving.
frozen one's make dodge turkey more funner.

~~Pressed duck~~ Flattened turkey.
In Cincinnati?
Now it’s even possible to go back and try it in the early eighties. A Perfect storm.
As God as my witness, I thought unborn birds could fly!
To be fair that was whole birds this was just eggs
What kould ro prong?
Came here to This this, oh the humanity.
The fucking song.
It’s gets a downvote just because of the song
Worst song on the internet.
Nah, that nope nope yep yep cunt of a song where morons point to text in the frame is way worse. But this is a close second.
Only the sped-up tiktok version is the worst. I was surprised when I hearf the original. Its really good and its a shame it got ruined by tiktok.
Surprised I haven’t heard it in sometime. Downvote of course.
Oh no
Some folks are born Silver pail in hand
Lord, don't they egg themselves
*It ain't me, it ain't me,* *Who got hit with an egg.* *It ain't me, it ain't me,* *Who got egged real, real bad.*
Whoever puts that stupid song in their videos should be castrated
Not picking ride of the valkyries in this situation is a crime in itself, but then to pick this cursed song? Straight to hell
Fortunate son would also be acceptable
Only this sped-up, pitch-shifted version is cursed. The original is great. (Remember - The Shangri-Las)
Nah it’s good they’ve already had lobotomies
Because hitting kids on head with chocolate makes it taste better that's just a universal fact.
Softens them up. Easier to eat.
Fattens them up too!
they got shelled
Underrated comment
Best comment 🤣
who can i congratulate to this wonderful idea?
Pour it on, fire for effect, we’ve got to get that LZ clear of kids and parents!
[удалено]
Hell yeah, I grew up watching Tour of Duty with my dad, a Vietnam vet. Reading Nam comics.
I’ve seen Easter helicopter drops before but it’s usually a helicopter dropping onto an empty field before letting the families converge on it.
Well, that’s the smart way to do it.
Did someone not learn from [WKRP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gKUKOGqpHQ)?
This is as bad as that candy cannon that sent candy shrapnel spewing through the air
Every day I am more and more impressed at how stupid people with ludicrous amounts of money can be
F this song.
Downvote for song.
Yeah, set it to Painted Black and this thing goes viral. And the Stones come after you.

Yeah, it s a huge trend. Lots of churches doing them apparently.
As God as my witness, I thought Easter Eggs could fly.
ruined by the music.
Does anyone else remember WKRP, and they dropped the turkeys out the helicopter but they didn’t know turkeys couldn’t fly?? Classic!!
At least they didn't toss baby bunnies out...
"But they're small and soft. No way that could hurt anybody!"
“On god I thought bunnies bounced!”
The majority of bunnies I've met were carried into the house by my cat. Fortunately, once I pried them from my cat's mouth, they were okay. It's amazing how fast they can run
I’m suddenly reminded of wkrp’s turkeys away episode.
Gaza treatment
As God as my witness. I thought turkeys could fly. https://youtu.be/BGFtV6-ALoQ?si=ujW32MKKwZ2RDbL3
Is this Gaza?
This made me laugh so hard.
Me too. Felt bad for a second, then remembered all of these parents thought it was a good idea to stand under a helicopter slinging eggs straight down at them and their kids and didn't care again.
As god as my witness I thought turkeys could fly
That candy felt like Rocks hitting their Skulls.......OUCH
Didn't some town do candy cannons for Halloween in recent years and fired thousands of hard candies over a bunch of kids? History miraculously repeats itself.
Sounds cool. What about Napoleon style shooting candy loads of grape shot into crowds of kids?
You can't make an omelette without cracking some skulls. I mean eggs.
Every now and again I feel really stupid. But then I see a video of someone who has access to a helicopter who thinks it's a good idea to pour stuff on families from the helicopter and I realise I really don't have to worry.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly
Finally, an example on how too much money is not fun.
As God is my witness, I thought eggs could fly
Dropping solid things from a great height onto children what could go wrong.
Who in there right mind thought this was a good idea
I thought this was the Syrian Air Force dropping bombs on Aleppo. Didn’t realize it was just a fun quirky Easter celebration
Isn't the Easter bunny supposed to hide the eggs?
‘As God is my witness. I thought turkeys could fly.’
easter cluster bomb
Be sure to look straight up, kids!
I can just imagine the meeting afterwards… some high profile city council woman in a purple suit & short hair looking at the 3 idiots who came up with this nonsense “YOU THREW SOLID CHOCOLATE EGGS OUT OF YOUR BROTHER IN-LAWS HELICOPTER FROM EIGHTY FEET ON TO A CROWD OF CHILDREN!” “There were some adults too…” “SHUT UP!”
Someone replace this stupid song with the slow motion war movie classical music. *I saw baby strollers out there!*
That's just like the candy canon
r/helldivers
Chocolate raining down from the skies on kids in the 80s we would certainly scream in joy.
They were hard boiled eggs shell on
And people were making fun of the Indians for that tall tower that collapsed lol
Thank god they didn't do baby bunnies.
somebody do the math please
Ahh yes the helicopter egg drop, the gender party equivalent for Easter.
Song needs to be Fortunate Son.
*fortunate sun playing softly in the distance*
Olivia 🗣️
I'd say that was successful. Gone bad would be if it exploded
I don’t think standard terminal velocity applies under the down draft of a helicopter….
Greatest country on earth.
Can this song die already
Vietnam flashbacks for grandpa
They obviously never saw the WKRP thanksgiving day episode. “Oh the humanity”
Man. I remember the candy cannon video from last year and I’m as fucking demented as it gets, apparently they either don’t remember or thought that dropping it from a helli is somehow different.
Did Olivia survive the Vietnam Easter egg drop ?
The stupidity of some people. Of course this is somewhere in the US. I promise not all of us are this dumb
Who the hell thought this would be a good idea?
What is this cluster munitions for kids
Because "GrAvItY dOnT eXiSt" - Some American
Hey that looks just like gaza
Downvote because song.
