You know it's almost Halloween when the scary recalls start rolling in. We used to worry about razor blades in the apples and strychnine-laced Snickers, but then we stared taking our candy to the ER to have it x-rayed. I've never actually done that, have you? But I would be concerned about lead-coated toys and stuff. How 'bout them (bobbing for) apples? More about Dunkin' Donuts and candy-filled skull pails:
Been to Dunkin' Donuts lately? You tell yourself it's for the coffee, but we know better. So you know that free glowstick you got with a purchase of (just one) donut that you pawned off on the kids? Recalled. Choking and strangulation hazard. Take it back to Dunkin' Donuts for a free donut. Your hips say "no no" but your eyes say "yes yes!"
Mmm, candy-filled lead-coated skull pails. Is this world filled with more cheap crap than we need, or what? These SO look like "my kid saw it and wanted it and there was almost a tantrum so I caved", don't they? Isn't that why this sort of thing was made? Too bad that skull face, the painted-on eyes and whatnot, are painted with (you guessed it!) lead paint. So tell your kid not to lick it and throw the cheap thing away to taint our landfills. Actually, you could get your 2 bucks back from wherever you bought it, but you know and I know that doing that would entail strapping however many kids into the car and driving to that location and then receiving your Two! Whole! Dollars! and then trying to walk out of there again holding on to wailing toddlers and escape without buying any more cheap "I'm-caving-again" toys, and honestly, is all that worth it for two dollars?
