Warning

You know those cute little light sticks you give your kids on Halloween? You bend them and they light up and they say NON-TOXIC on their packages. I would show you a picture of one only I immediately rid my house of the pests after this incident (which unfortunately has nothing to do with cooking only that it went in my kid's mouth and then ruined the kitchen table).


So, apparently the outer plastic coating is the non-toxic part they refer to, because if you bite one open and leave it on your table, it will melt your varnish. Yes, completely dissolved away and stained forever. If you do not want this to happen to your child's esophagus, I suggest you disregard the NON-TOXIC part and get yourself a flashlight.

Oh Yeah! Ashley bit one when she was younger and then got it in her eye! I thought we were going to have to take her into the hospital. She wouldn't stop crying and we kept rinsing and rinsing. It was bad. I don't quite ban them, but they can use them once and then into the garbage. No MOUTHS!

They also stain your clothes and carpet. Been there, done that! Ugh!
