Learn how to bake the awesomest shortbread you can, & wrap some of that edible-gold up in wax-paper for each kid.

Flour, cornstarch, oats, butter, salt, do not add-up to the extortion-prices charged by the flavored-sugar-in-plastic-wrappers companies.

Yeah I'm not trusting random bread from people especially during Covid season.

But have you tried their sourdough? That starter is going to be the next generation's most valued inheritance.

That's just paranoia tbh

Plus you can stick razorblades in them real easy if you bake them yourself.

Has there actually been a case where this happened?

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 2 points 1 hour ago

The sad part is this may be the first time in history that there are enough randomly psychotic and violent people on the loose in the US that this is something parents should suddenly have reasonable fear of.

I'd be less afraid of razorblades and more afraid of my kid getting shot on some hick nazi's doorstep tbh. MAGA nuts have already gunned down kids on their front lawn for less.

hope you dont end up like the mom in freaks and geeks. that was a sad episode :(

OK that's actually a fantastic idea. Cookies it is. If parents have a problem with unwrapped corpo-candy then their kids don't have to eat them. I can spend a day banging out ten dozen cookies and not give the monthly-sugar-holiday any more money.
