To automatically bin the made-in-china sweets in the party bags...

[Sugarbeach]

...that dd gets?!

Does anyone else do this? Or is it just me?

[ScaryFakeNails]

What is a made in China sweet? I've never looked in detail to where sweets come from.

[InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream]

What scary said

[Sugarbeach]

Sweets Made in China.

[Sugarbeach]

Now ducking behind the sofa....

[MrsCantSayAnything]

I know what SUgar means. They tend to be the most brightly coloured and most "Novelty" type sweets going.

So....little plastic, fruit shaped squeezy things full of sherbert. Or baby rattles full of tiny livid blue sweets.

YANBU OP.

[Ithinkitsjustme]

Well I don't do this, but if it makes you happy....
Why don't you either return them to teh person who has spent money on them or give them to some one else if you don't want your DC to have them. Christmas is coming up and no doubt your DC's school will be asking for donations of absolutely anything for their Christmas Fair.

[FuckityFuckFuck]

Is it because they are sweets?

Or non-British sweets?

Or because you just hate China and everything that is made there?

Or because they are somehow communist sweets?

Or they will give you children a horrible human rights record?

[ScaryFakeNails]

......... how very clear.

I think you mean those type of sweets you can buy cheaply in newsagents and sweetshops.

No I don't throw them away.

Why do you?

[Petsinmyputridpudenda]

Free the sweeties !!!

Send them to me

[InSPsFanjoNoOneHearsYouScream]

I'm not a sweetist, I don't care where the origin of my sweets are.

Free sweets are the best sweets

[mignonette]

Don't go trick or treating then. How silly....

[MrsCantSayAnything]

OP is probably nervous about the ingredients and with good reason. China is not known for it's care in terms of pollution generally or paint used in toys.

[Sugarbeach]

She gets given too many sweets anyway, so she can't eat all of them, because I won't allow that many sweets. So, you can say it's because, they are sweets fuckityff. And the fact that i don't trust edibles made in china....she's just got a whole handful of them from the Halloween disco just now....

[FreudiansGoldSlipper]

no i don't have to bother as ds does not like haribo type sweets or candy :o

i am not keen either apart from those sour fizzy things

[halcyondays]

I've never even noticed any sweets that said made in China, tbh, so,no, I don't.

[Sugarbeach]

Thanks mrs cant, I think you get me.

[Sugarbeach]

Haribos are fine

[StuntGirl]

You don't trust edibles made in China?? What?

[FreudiansGoldSlipper]

not according to my ds :o

[ScaryFakeNails]

No I don't throw them away. I don't throw any sweets away ever.

But we're obviously on a different wave length as I don't have rules about sweets.

I understand the point you're making but considering I don't investigate the origins of any of our food I don't think a few sweets is the place to start and plus its not something I really care about. I doubt it will kill them.

[LifeIsBetterInFlipFlops]

FGS...it's never crossed my mind before, now I have something else to worry about! wanders off muttering distractedly

[PosieParker]

I think you'd be surprised what can go into sweets in general, let alone sweets made in china.

[ScaryFakeNails]

This.

[LifeIsBetterInFlipFlops]

Sorry, didn't mean to write in bold, I'm clearly bothered by filling DS up with even more rubbish.

[RyleDup]

No, I don't throw them away.
