Haribo*? Nein!

As I prepare to head back to Germany, I'm looking through the TSA's list of what's allowed and what's not on a plane. Some of the more interesting items:

• Personal lubricants - Up to 4 oz. (check or carry-on is OK)
• Mouthwash or Toothpaste (checked OK, no carry-on)

Note to self: bring mint flavored lubricant as substitute.

• Swords, Sabers, Firearms, Axes, Cattle Prods, Billy Clubs, Brass Knuckles and Kubatons [???] (checked OK, no carry-on)
• Cheese in pressurized containers, Jell-O and Whipped Cream (checked OK, no carry-on)

Note to self: check on nutritional value of mint flavored personal lubricant or consider banana as an alternative. Also, check whether Easy Cheese can be used as a personal lubricant.

* - Haribo is a German candy maker famous for gummy bears. [highlight for explanation]
