WEST DES MOINES, Iowa - Officials at a junior high school spiked an edition of the student newspaper because it contained a recipe for hot chocolate that included peppermint schnapps.
The January edition of Stillwell Junior High School's quarterly Tiger Tracks was pulled off the racks when the boozy recipe was discovered, Principal Tim Miller said. A student at the West Des Moines school submitted the recipe, which slipped through the editing process, Miller said.
Miller described the mistake as an honest one, saying the student who submitted the recipe thought schnapps was a type of candy.
Uh huh. When I was in Jr. High School I knew exactly what peppermint schnapps was.
