So where do I go to convert Reese’s into chocolate that isn’t polluted with peanuts?
So who gets the candy the machine collects?
As a kid I would swap peanut-contaminated candy for good stuff. Often at a premium.
Grawlix: I assume it’s all going to be thrown away (despite the “recycle” claim). Unless Hershey Co. wants to deal with the liability of handing out random pieces of candy that they have no way of tracing back to their original sources.
Another reason for diabetics like me to feel regret.
This would work well with other products as well. A kid pretends to eat his broccoli, collecting it in a paper bag….
Heck, go further. Someone amasses Adam Sandler DVDs….
And eventually the system breaks, and we’re in Mad Max land, fighting over various types of candies….
A peanut allergy would be Hell. No Reeses.
Hell is a candy converter that only dispenses Reese’s. Peanut butter and chocolate have no business being in the same package.
It should dispense Reese’s NutRageous Bar. The ultimate candy bar. Basically a Reese’s peanut butter cup inside of a Snickers!
The local news had a story on this and said there was only one machine, I think they said in Times Square, and it only had one load of candy. When it was empty, that was it. I wonder if they fell for a hoax story based on this ad?
Some dentists in our area (Tampa) are offering a ‘candy buy-back’ – $1.00/pound. SUPPOSEDLY, the collected candy is sent ‘to the troops’. So, I have several questions/thoughts: 1) Would you REALLY send randomly-collected candy to anyone? 2) What would chocolate look like after traveling through heat? 3) I recall reading that ‘the troops’ were allowed – nay, encouraged – to smoke during WWI, WWII, Korean War, etc., and cigarettes were sent ‘to the troops’. IOW, for years we sent the troops lung cancer; now we are sending them tooth decay and diabetes? Does NO ONE think these things through (at least nowadays, we KNOW that candy is not good for you; previously, we didn’t know that cigarettes caused cancer).
Am I being harsh and/or negative? It just seemed real odd to me . . . .
