The candies have been pulled off the shelves of major retailers in the United States and last month, they were banned from being imported there.

Wonderful. Our children are now too ignorant and helpless even to eat w/o intervention.

Hey, what did you expect? We live in a society where instructions are required for TOOTHPICKS, because otherwise some idiot will use it improperly and then sue the toothpickmaker for a bajillion dollars because the toothpicks didn't say he couldn't do it that way.

Thank the Trial Lawyers, the 'get rich quick' mentality, and the folks in government (the 'L' word) who foolishly believe that you have a 'right' to be protected from your own stupidity.

Ammendment? Ha! Liberals don't try to legitimately change the Constitution. They just have some judge do it for them.

This from the guy who thinks highways are un-Constitutional.

It's the Supreme Court's job to interpret the Constitution. If you'd actually read it, you might know this. Instead you scream about "liberals this!" and "liberals that!"

Your rhetoric is not only old, but ignored.

'Interpret' does not = 'change,' 'add to,' 'take away from,' OR 'make new law.'

Courts may interpret existing laws, but they are expressly forbidden to make new ones, or to ignore laws unless deemed unconstitutional.

And if you choke from inhaling your leftover turkey... that's too bad, you should have eaten slower. It ain't Butterball's fault.

'S like the people who get upset when they take their 6-year-old to a Rated-R slasher pic, and then get mad (at Hollywood) because the kid acts violently or has nightmares for a week.

When govt. starts trying to take the place of common sense (which I suspect is actually an evolutionary process designed to weed out the unfit), we're all in trouble.. because like a limb, if you don't youse your sense, it atrophies.

I had heard that some stores were still selling the candy despite the recall. So I decided to hoof it down to Chinatown to check it out. Spent a good 2 hours walking between various supermarkets and novelty stores. Nothing.

..... sigh ......

And my feet still hurt. Didn't sit down for 4 hours straight, subway was packed so I didn't get a seat. The last of my candies that I stocked in the freezer are now gone.

I DID hear that the makers of this candy is coming out with a variation of the product, this time in the size of a pudding cup. The idea is for them to eat it like jello with a spoon. I'm not sure if this can be verified, but I do hope it is true. Some consolation is in order here.

If the government decides to ban this variation of the candy, I will be really upset. It is no different than banning Jello in a cup, if you ask me.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
