Imagine just this item being teleported back to an suburban northern US neighborhood in 1978. Your Mom thinks tjis is a healthy snack and does this. Your Dad power washes the house the next Saturday, picks up the TP on Sunday after church.
Now, seems likely.

(32,968 posts)But, thinking back, hard on it, 10 cents seems like alot of money in 62/63 for a five year old to have for candy.

(38,310 posts)I suspect that was the end of Herbalife in that household, I imagined a disgruntled spouse handing out the remaining stock to unsuspecting children.
We had other neighbors who were some kind of fundamentalist Christian. They would lure children in with full size candy bars and then tell them that Halloween was evil, handing out religious pamphlets along with the candy. These pamphlets would be scattered all over the neighborhood the next morning. This house was a favorite destination for the sorts of smart-mouthed 11-15 year olds who used to read MAD magazine.
