Man Fined for Selling Peppermints as Viagra

HANOVER — A German man has been fined for selling peppermint sweets
claiming they were Viagra sexual potency pills, police said Wednesday.

The man persuaded 34 men to part with a total of 6,000 marks ($3,370) by
offering the Viagra tablets through an advertisement placed on the Internet. He
instead sent them blue "Fisherman's Friend" pastilles which looked similar to the
sex drug.

"The plaintiffs filed legal complaints against him when they realized the pills were
not having the desired effect," a Hanover police spokeswoman said.

The man was fined 2,000 marks and had his computer confiscated.
