FALLBROOK, CA – Parents are outraged after prescription bottles full of candy were given away to children at a California Albertsons.
The bottles were given to children as part of a promotion inside the store in Fallbrook, California, near San Diego. Parents say the bottles, which look like they are full of pills – were actually full of candy.
The real prescription bottles were labeled with “SavOn Pharmacy,” and filled with Hersheys Kisses.
The store says the promotion was a lapse in judgment by one of its vendors and has been stopped.

I’ve seen this at Walgreen’s. It is at the drug counter (not handed out.) In a huge font it says “THIS IS CANDY.”
Yes, a plastic bottle that looks like a pill bottle is just like a piano leg that reminds us of the sinful human leg. Cover those piano legs with crinoline skirts, folks, and preserve our childrens morals!
I am convinced these ‘tards know this is wrong. There is a cynical calculation going on here that the name exposure outweighs the negative press exposure. This has to be it surely. If not, they really are just dumb as stumps and deserve to be laughed at and sued.
Some times a cigar is just a cigar.
Doesn’t anyone remember candy cigarettes? I doubt you can find those anymore.
#6 – Bubba,
I remember those. Good idea, but not so when I lit one up. Had to go back to smoking my Camels.

Well said.
#6, Bubba,
I remember ’em. (cough, cough) Cool too. They (cough) had a fresh mint flavor, although I can’t taste mint or very much anymore.
(crap ola, where the eff are my matches, well off to the stove)
Oh ya, and no tampons on the end either. No si (cough, wheeze) siree Bob, they were all candy. (hack hack hack hack, spuueee, wheeze) Just like a real smoke is today. (wheeze, hu ahu ahu ahu)
If it hadn’t been for those candy jobs, I might never have graduated to the big kid sticks.
“HEY JOEY, GET AWAY FROM THOSE PILLS, THEY AIN’T CANDY YA KNOW!!! (cough cough, hack) Hey better still, bring me one of my heart pills” (hack, hack, hack, ahu)
The grandkid is over. I look after him during the day. Kid always seems to have a runny nose. (wheeze) Damn daughter-in-law won’t take the kid to the doctor. She’ll kill that kid yet. (cough cough)
