Delta Burke says she used crystal meth for weight loss

30 Rock had such great writers.
Max Jacobson maybe.
I had no idea who this was so I went and looked on IMDB and she was in a show called "Designing Women" and one of the top rated episodes has this description:
Suzanne [Burke] attends her high school reunion, where people shun her because she weighs more than she did in high school.
Irony.
This show was waaaay more fucked up than Golden Girls.
For instance, The Golden Girls had an episode where they track down a jean jacket that leads them to Micheal Jackson tickets and the concept of the elderly becoming homeless. It’s a serious episode where political issues take a center stage…
Compare that to a show about a couple of women repeating a LOT of southern racist tropes… or the fact that an entire character was a 90s gay stereotype.
I’d say there’s a reason golden girls is still very popular to reference in gay culture but that implies there’s only one
Who? And why should anyone care?
Delta Burke!
She’s that lady with the face and the hair.
Man shows up at the pearly gates, sees this guy in a pinstripe suit and a briefcase, a cigar, prancing about. He says to Saint Peter, ‘Who’s that guy?’ Saint Peter says, ‘Ah, that’s just God. Thinks he’s Denny Crane.’
careful. you don't want to get to addicted to that stuff so alternat coke or crack to be safe.
It did work for her, 40 years ago
It's literally FDA approved for weight loss.
Methamphetamine (desoxyephedrine) was first approved in 1943 by the FDA for treating narcolepsy, mild depression, postencephalitic Parkinson syndrome, chronic alcoholism, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and hay fever. Later, in 1947, methamphetamine was also approved as the first drug for treating obesity.
Hay Fever season just around the corner. Better stock up
I love that it was used for alcoholism. I see how, treating adhd helps with that, but still.
Anecdotal evidence (seeing a couple of methheads) says it works.
For weight loss at least, doesn't mean you will look good, just thin.
Dexatrim used it in it's formula for decades.
Who? WHEN!? Wtf, how is this news? Please tell me that's the "Onion" part...
The more your smoke, the more you lose. The more you lose, includin them tooths!
If you stick with it, you're sure to lose weight! Teeth don't weigh nothing...

I'm convinced Dr. Spaceman was based on a real Hollywood doctor.
(If you can see the pamphlet because of the caption, it says "You do the meth!")
