this is just an ad
So fucking lame….funny bone shattered
OH BOY I LOVE {product.id().name}! ITS SO {random.choice(product.descriptors)}!
Is this an ad?
Am I the only One who realizes that Twix is just short for TWO STICKS
T.W.I.X.
Two Weird Italian Xylophones
It’s twin sticks. Have some culture.
HOLY SHIT
I know right?
The inclusion of the full name and capitalizing the Peanut Butter Cups is telling me this is an ad. So is the unnecessary inclusion of the photo.
I feel like a person making a joke would have just said peanut butter cups, or reeses cups, or maybe just reeses.
A non-marketing individual would have been more likely to find a photo of someone with chocolate on their face, rather than a glamour shot of a twix.
And only speculation, but the person in the profile pic doesn’t look like the type to make this age-group of joke.
All of that aside, the basis of the conversation is it’s own issue, it implies that both parents have gone through their kids candy for their own reasons, and one found the results interesting enough to bring it up later. Not that this is an actual scenario that happened.
Thank my TED.
If it really were marketing copy, they’d spell it right.
Or not, for eNgAGeMeNt
I’ve never understood this, steal your kids treats? You’re an adult and can just buy the candy when ever you want.
consider it a tax
One or two is a tax. Robbing the whole bag of “the good stuff” is being an asshole.
Yeah, my kids are well aware of the Dad Tax. They’re prepared for life.
After a certain history lesson you might find them dumping your tea/beer/coffee into the nearest water system as a demonstration of their grievances. :p
Why do wives eat French fries off their husbands’ plates when they could just order their own? Because it doesn’t count if you didn’t order it. Those fries may as well be in international waters. Same with kids candy.
I do it because I’d want 3-4 fries at most and it’s a waste to get an entire order of fries for that.
My kids don’t need to be eating all that candy, it’s no good for them. I’m making a sacrifice. For them.
It’s hard to buy candy for yourself as an adult because you know it’s nothing but love handles and tooth decay in shiny wrappers. But if it comes into your orbit once a year without buying it, it’s tempting.
Of course, when my kid was small he basically didn’t bother eating it at all. He’d get like 100 pieces of candy and they’d linger around until Christmas. When I was a kid we’d get pillowcases full and it’d be gone in days. Not sure if that’s a generational thing or if my son was just not very motivated by sweets.
Two of my three kids are allergic to peanuts, so it was necessary for me and my wife to destroy any candy that contained peanuts.
It was difficult, but for the safety of our children we eliminated the candy in the only way we know.
