Kids RX - Candy Drugs

[Rumpl4skn]

I'd like to know how the 'sugar free' lollipop is sweetened. If it's got Aspartame, then you're also getting your daily dose of harmful toxins as well.

Hmm....this is very contrivercial to me.

I think it should be used, only as a last-resort for kids who WILL NOT (like i used to be..) take plain, or badly flavoured medicine.

And ONLY as a last resort.

It's a good invention, but...who knows.

[newgtguy]

Nothing about this is good.

Can I get orange flavored SSRI please?

[Quisyfrottesypique]

What? You gave me an Exlax Gummi Bear?

How about a Gravol Rocket Pop before the drive to Halifax kids?

What's in the Smarties? Oh! That's mommy's contraceptive pills.

We had the sour worm ones made for grand-pa. Shhhh... It's Viagra.

What about the tendency of kids to want to share things with their friends. Kids hopped up on "insert prescription drug here"

@rnb8220

rofl, ya like dealing drugs in prison, kids can deal prescription candies in school! :D

There are pros and cons to this. The good thing is it will get kids to take medicine, the bad thing it it might get them to take to much medicine thinking that it really IS candy, or wanting a lot more simply because it tastes good.

[Aliensnowmen]

Not just children, this approach sends the message to the parents that numbing the pain (or other quick fixes) are the best approach. I heard a few years back, that most headaches are caused by dehydration, since then when my head hurts I drink a glass of water, and I haven't needed a pain killer since. The drug companies want you to believe that they are better for you than actually staying healthy in the first place.

Hm. I guess this is okay...

still kinda concerned about overdoses...

easier to eat.
