MTV Crew Comes to Cinnaminson

A film crew for the popular MTV reality series "True Life" came to The Jug Handle Inn from 10 to 10:30 p.m. Jan. 14. The crew was filming "True Life: I'm Allergic to Everything" featuring a local resident hanging out at his favorite bar.

The local subject for the series responded to an MTV casting call last October looking for young people ages 16-23 who suffer from multiple allergies or one severe, life-threatening allergy.

It was Friday night business as usual at The Jug, and although some of the customers knew the MTV reality series was in the corner of the basement level by the dartboard recording segments for its show, no one interfered or overcrowded the film crew’s work.

Kevin and Nicole Stone, owners of The Jug Handle Inn, said the crew was discreet and only filmed for about 30 minutes. The Stones said MTV gave them very limited information about the details of the show and the producer did not disclose who was being featured or any other details about the show.

“They (MTV) called one day and told us they were filming about this guy living with multiple allergies,” Nicole Stone said.

“They told me they were coming because this kid loves this bar and they are filming his everyday life.”

Kevin Stone added, “They were here for a half-hour. You wouldn’t even know they were here.”

Segments on "True Life: I’m Allergic to Everything" will show how allergy sufferers are affected on a daily basis by constantly wiping their eyes, blowing their noses and using their inhalers.

The series will also show how everyday things like going out to eat or shopping can be dangerous for multiple or severe allergy sufferers. The segments will mention how exposure to common foods and items can cause severe and multiple allergy sufferers to break out in hives, to have a severe allergic reaction or to stop breathing.
