MDMA / ecstasy tablets — the modern sense. ED nurses still use it when a kid rolls in from a warehouse rave with a temp of 40 and clenched teeth. Survived the leap from Quaaludes because the rhythm of the phrase fits the scene.
“Tachycardic, hyperthermic, pupils like saucers — paramedics said she took two disco biscuits four hours ago.”

Quaaludes (methaqualone) — the original 1970s sense. Now historical, but still surfaces in older ED docs and any conversation about disco-era drug culture.
“Back when I trained, disco biscuits meant 'ludes, not ecstasy — you'd see overdoses every weekend.”
