I loved the response---- you don't have to eat the whole thing!! So pick out one or two items, keep the blood sugar up, and press on.

While the fat is not good for adults, it is actually good for very young children, it helps with brain development.

What's in the snack?
Ever see those inflight snacks you can buy from NW that are displayed in the back of their inflight rag? Very similar! Just different packaging. You can collect the whole set here at FedEx - orange, purple, green, red and blue!

Thinking of my childhood years, my brain must have been the size of a watermelon. I don't know what you guys are worried about, a plate of wings and a beer at Hooters is worse than this snack box and I'm not going to stop that. Now back to my unfiltered Lucky Strikes!

He sells them on eBay. Buy all 5 colors, save on shipping and he'll throw in an FOM!

Oh yah. It always starts with something like that. Then they move on to the cheese spread. Next thing you know, they're snorting that embryonic fluid stuff from the salami package.

You should be careful what you write, on this forum. Children's Services might come knocking at your door. From the State of Tennessee, Title 37:

(12) “Dependent and neglected child” means a child:
...
(B) Whose parent, guardian or person with whom the child lives, by reason of cruelty, mental incapacity, immorality or depravity is unfit to properly care for such child;


I'm thinking that giving them one of those snack paks, just might be considered cruelty.

I prefer the later!
I prefer "Happy Meal"

I haven't seen a Red one yet. What's the special prize in that one?

Two sided coins.....gosh...that's why I always get the green box with the Slim Jim that has an experation date of 2035..

I'm just happy that I don't have to carry the Jug anymore. Almost had to go out on disability for "jug elbow".
