Nonalcoholic Cocktails’ Most Unexpected Fans: Kids

[jjcordone]

This is a "fluff" story on today's NY Times. The same people that are in an uproar with their claim that vaping teaches children to smoke latter in life, have no problem with Kiddie Cocktails to train children to be drinkers. Makes as much sense as what we're seeing now - cigarettes left to be more accessible than vape products. Here's the link, but since the times is subscription based I'm not sure if it will work for everyone.

I find it strange that there is no sweet fruity sniffing powder with a dollar bill design straw for kids on the market yet.

I have a theory. All these issues with kids began about the time we banned lawn darts.

Speaking of cocktails, anyone here catch wind about the woman feeding her husband Visine cocktails? For 3 days?

I don't know about everyone else, but if I even get a pimple I become suspicious. This guy should have knew something was up after having to flush so many times.

Just to remain on topic, let's hope the kids don't hear about this.

We had to take our daughter to the doctors once when stuck a bean in her ear during arts and crafts at school. lol.

Back to the OP. I vividly remember how much of big person I felt like when my mom ordered a Shirley Temple for me at the fancy Chinese restaurant. See where I am now?

I loved those! In fact, I'm going to make my own (for adults only!)
How about resin "knocker balls"? Would shatter and get in your eyes.
Super balls (the original)... throw it hard on the sidewalk and it comes straight up and gives you a bloody nose.
And (of course) candy cigarettes (fake smoke and all)

They even made fake acid for us to chew like the adults! We called em mini Chiclets.

I just wish thy would all calm down with the "for the children" stuff and let kids be kids.

 

[smacuser]

"for the children"

Why is it when I hear that, I immediately think of George Carlin?

If you factor in climate change none of this really even makes sense.

Mud pies were also delicious

Now the department of children's services would be knocking on your door if you gave these to a child.
