		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; will use one of Tieki Rae’s favorite candies as an example. Her favorite candy is called rock candy, and if you click on it, you’ll see it resembles crystal meth. I never once contacted the rock candy manufacturers asking them to change the makeup of their candy or packaging. Instead, I just didn’t keep packages of crystal meth laying around the house to confuse Tieki. I’m a pretty skilled parent if I do say so myself.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Actually, I didn't know what crystal meth looked like until you told me it resembled rock candy.  It's for naive people like me that all packagaing should be changed. (Eye roll.)

ROFL to the last two sentences.  SO TRUE.  

As for the chocolate analogies: here's the deal.  If you keep them to a minimum around the Christmas season, I'll refrain from referring to the December days as "the holiday season."  :p</description>

		<description>Good one DI!

Exactly Sam! Let's adjust everything so as not to get it confused with illegal drugs.

I think we can correlate it with gun control -- making up a bunch of restrictive laws for people who actually obey the laws which in turn makes life easier for criminals who never honor laws to begin with. 

I swear, that Scarecrow on the Wizard of Oz had more brains than liberals do.</description>

		<description>The evils of marketing exposed! Cold relief, cough suppressing, breath freshening, and other dissolving strips have become popular. Hershey is bad because they want to take advantage of a market trend and give consumers what they want. 

That is the problem! Ignore the open borders! Ignore the immunity given to drug smugglers! Ignore the simple fact that the mint packaging is perfectly acceptable, the illegal drug is what is unacceptable!!!!!</description>

		<description>Hi Bridget,

Yes. We are certainly on the same page with this. And I, will do my best, at least through the Christmas season, not to drag chocolate into these discussions in such a negative matter.  ;)  I think that's just too upsetting.

I will use one of Tieki Rae's favorite candies as an example. Her favorite candy is called &lt;a href="http://www.kjkkandies.com/images/White%20Rock%20Candy.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;rock candy&lt;/a&gt;, and if you click on it, you'll see it resembles crystal meth. I never once contacted the rock candy manufacturers asking them to change the makeup of their candy or packaging.  Instead, I just didn't keep packages of crystal meth laying around the house to confuse Tieki. I'm a pretty skilled parent if I do say so myself.  :)

Let's try and keep rock candy a secret from Kevin or he could get himself in all kinds of trouble.  :)</description>

		<description>Oh, Tammi, your original post got my attention well enough.

I mean, WTF?!?!?  Let's seal the border and send these people back to their place of origin.  Let the other countries deal with drugs.  I'm sorry, but telling a multi-billion dollar manufacturer that they have to change their design because it looks like cocaine?  Did they ever think that the jerk drug dealers may have deliberately designed those things to look like candy or mouth freshener???  That drugs don't come in nice, neat, labelled packets: "This is cocaine.  Take with food, no more than twice a day.  See a doctor if dizziness or heart palpitations develop."  It's freakin DRUGS</description>

		<description>Wow Kevin -- I think you might be onto something ... think of all the extra Christmas money to spend! I think we should go out selling these fake drug packets in pairs, and I wanna be paired up with someone I can run faster than.  :)</description>

		<description>Hi Angel,

I'm still praying those border patrol agents are out of prison and spending this Christmas with their families!</description>
