Ten children were rushed to hospital by ambulance after a school drugs scare - only for doctors to find they had overdosed on mints.
Pupils complained of feeling dizzy and unwell after eating the small, white "pills."
It was feared that Ecstasy had been handed out in the playground and paramedics were quickly called into the school.
But as the kids from Venerable Bede C of E School, Sunderland, were ferried to hospital it was revealed the alert was caused by out-of-date mints.
Ed Yeates, Venerable Bede's headteacher said: "The mints had been brought into school by a pupil and innocently shared out amongst friends but they made some of them feel unwell."
