lemonade, choc or sweets??!

[steph007]

OK so my husband and I are disagreeing. Which is worse for the children - beaker of diet lemonade, small pack of buttons or small pack Haribo??!
can you put them in an order of good to bad for me (OK I know none are ideal, but needs must )

I would say best is buttons, then haribo, then lemonade

chocolate button have milk in them, so are practically a health food , then the Haribo (they must have some fruit juice in them somewhere!), then the lemonade.

Unless you're talking about homemade lemonade. Then is lemonade, buttons, haribo!

Buttons, Haribo then lemonade.

But only diet lemonade is actively bad for anyone. The others are fine occasionally - don't stress about it!

Lemonade def worse...ask any dentist!

yes I guess the diet bit isn't good eg aspartame or similar. altho not bad for teeth like sugar ( buttons, haribo )

so depends whether you mean from a nutrition or dental perspective.

I think buttons are absolutely fine as a treat. Esp those eeny weeny packs.

I'd avoid the others though. Altho they do seem to get given Haribos at birthdays etc. Grrr.

Haribos are an essential part of childhood.

Aspartame isn't.

what do you and your DH think?

for teeth lemonade is better than haribo as bits get stuck in the teeth with the sweets whereas lemonade goes straigh past

depends on your criteria

lemonade worst for teeth
and is spillable so no good in car
and aspartame is bad
buttons make the worst mess
haribo are a nightmare as dd does one suck then spits them out and hands them to me

tee hee thanks all, I really enjoyed showing my husband these responses
I say buttons best then haribo then diet lemonade. He thinks as there is no sugar in diet lemonade there is nothing wrong with it - and because he's so pigheaded he won't agree or read up about it/aspartame, drives me mad!
so happy to hear others agree with me - mums know best I'd say
