Did I stutter?

Leave the kids alone. Adults who market harmful products to kids are predatory assholes. I'd hope there is a special place in hell for whoever dreamed up count chocola and all the other bullshit used to sell candied cereal to kids. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it was ethical. And in the case of Juul, going into highschools with their marketting material, I doubt it was even legal.

Mmmm, Count Chocula...
They're all fine, so long as they advertise to children's parents - but not to the kids themselves.
I’m a parent and whatever is advertised to my kids is meaningless because I’m an adult who controls the purse strings.
Yes!
