Common sense really is extinct


Yes, you're reading that right. It says, "CHOKING WARNING! Eat one at a time and chew thoroughly. May not be appropriate for children under 6."

These are Whopper-like candies which are small and round, and yes perhaps a choking hazard. But HELLO?!? Do we need to put eating instructions on every food now, lest people forget to "chew thoroughly?" And if they do neglect to chew before they swallow, isn't that their own fault?

No doubt there is a lawsuit somewhere claiming that they were never warned that they or their loved ones could choke on this candy. Heaven forbid someone use some common sense.
