Walking out of Central Park last night we came across a few guys selling whippits. Huge purple balloons filled with nitrous oxide. Not having grown up in New Jersey I had never heard of a whippit until I saw it on Saved by the Bell, the College Years (yes, I watched that show.) I’ve never tried a whippit and I'm not about to begin now. However, I was racked with curiosity. Not for the experience of a whippit, but more for the legality of selling whippits. I know that selling anything in Central Park without a permit is illegal, but is that the only law that they broke? Is selling nitrous oxide in a big purple balloon illegal? What if they were selling large quantities of cough syrup? Is that legal?
