Celphane packaging for kids sweeties

AIBU for expecting manufacturers to use something a little more substantial than celophane (or its equivalent) for sweeties.

DD2 (3) tore DD1 (6) packet of millions (wtf) with her teeth and emptied them over the tiled kitchen floor. An explosion of little bouncing sugary sh1t ensued.

Tomorrow morning I hope that the entire board of directors of whoever makes walk into their kitchens barefoot to find it covered in their cacky product, and experience the joys of small round hard sh1t3 underfoot.

And yes I knew it was a dumb idea caving in at the time and buying them for DD1, but that was yesterday and she forgot about them until DD2 discovered them this morning.

Thankfuckfully they are all in the bin now.

would you like them encased in Granite ?

YABU - kids can empty out a sturdy smarties tube just as easily.

The trick is, don't let the little darlings get their hands on sweet packets unsupervised. You know that really, don't you?

YABU.
You bought them, and you let them have it with them instead of putting them away.

Nothing a mop and water won't solve.

YABU. You should have bought them in a tub this.

Or alternatively you can buy one of these for a very reasonable £76.80. Grin

I'm disappointed that this isn't about the need for recyclable sweetie packaging.
