Damn You Candy Companies!!
So Hershey's recently put out a new product - it's a baggie of breath-mints. The problem is that it looks like baggies used to carry cocaine.
There has been some outrage over this product due to it's similarity to drug packaging and news sites are showing pictures comparing the two. I guess this is problematic because a child who is used to having breath mints in a little blue baggie might stumble upon a baggie of llello, eat it, and suffer harm or die.
As some have already pointed out, there is a bigger issue here: where the hell is this situation going to take place? What child lives in a environment where they could find a little blue baggie of blow? People don't usually misplace large bags of drugs, so any parent who is worried that after a all-night binger their kid will consume the rest of their drugs probably has more to worry about than Hershey's packaging.
