You were obviously never a pre-teen girl!
Oh shit there is a British candy I didnāt know about
? Someone, fire up the Chopper, daddy needs some sugar!
Well, you donāt have to worry about us. Weāve got spirit to go around. Ugh! What is this stuff? Iāve never even heard of these brands. Sand Pop? Gummy chairs? Mr. Adequate-Bar?
Only on Halloween.
O hell no, those things are manna. Did you know they also make the Valentines candy hearts? True fax!
Another NECCO fact: it stands for New England Confection Company. Also, they are delicious.
Theyāre just like M&Ms.
Your Smarties are like our Refreshers, I think?
Mmm, Parma Violets.
While itās possible the kid is allergic to peanuts, the cynic in me is thinking the gluten and dairy part is more along the allergy hysteria lines. The cynic then wonders if the person putting this up doesnāt vaccinate their kids either. Would I be piling on if I think a sign should be added saying if your kids arenāt vaccinated to please not come to my house for my own health?
Wow, their methods suck, totally suck, but the intent is still okay. My son is severely allergic to peanuts and nuts, and doesnāt enjoy Halloween as much as he would like. Itās not about picking out the acceptable candy from the dangerous candy, itās about throwing away the candy knowing that you will never be able to eat it. Genuinely disappointing for a little kid.
So, we do what other people have already mentioned: give some candy to our neighbors beforehand. And we also trick-or-treat for UNICEF.
Anyone have a problem if I put up my kidās UNICEF page so all of you could donate?
US Smarties = Canadian Rockets!
Necco wafers? Smarties? Lifesavers?
Good to know her kid isnāt allergic to artificial flavors or colors.
āPlease give my child nothing but artificially flavored and colored sugar.ā
Mmmmmmkay.
I do have a big box of nut free chocolates ready to go.
Smarties? or Smarties? or Rockets?
Donāt throw 'em out, Dipper. Theyāll come back to haunt you.
Sureā¦just, 30 years ago.
Iām imagining angry parents showing up on your door with scratched up iPads and phones.
FUN FACT! Necco Wafers originally came in Beet, Pepsin, Clove, and Musk flavors.
Well, no. Thatās a lie, except for Clove.
What? No ambergris?
M&Ms are horrid, Weird aftertaste. Smarties are stuff-your-face good.
donāt forget. the post also says donāt put out any dairy so milk chocolate is out too
Okay you misfits, Iāve decided. No, seriously. Iām making caramel popcorn balls to hand out while wearing a horse mask.
Iām gonna be the creepiest mutha fucka on the block.
If youāre going to bother to rouse the cynic, at least have him/her consider that this whole thing was created by trolls riling people up about overly-protective, demanding parents. I mean, the only attribution isā¦imgurā¦
