Great heads up for those planning on taking their kids trick or treating in Canada...:yay:
 
It's the only place I get to wear the beret. :frown:

Oh... well in that case... can you reserve the Pirate Coin Chocolates for the little hoodlums in your neighborhood and give the rest something manufactured in the good ole USA...:patriot:

I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Better that it's posted too many times than not at all.

Thanks! :huggy:

I've seen those chocolate gold coins candy before during Halloween, Christmas, and Easter Holidays. You can find them at BJ's, Commisary on the Base, etc.

If I do find them, I will pull them out of the candy bag before my kids get to it.

:yeahthat:

I haven't been to Canada in a while so I'm not sure what restrictions are in place but couldn't somebody bring that candy back here from say, a business trip or something, and not realize it?
 
You really should toss any chocolate made in China. I highly doubt their recipe changes much from vat of chocolate to vat of chocolate no matter where it's intended distribution may be.

It's just safe to toss any cadbury chocolate that is received. Mojo has been saving his cadbury's from pre-2006 and will be handing them out this year. :faint:

I won't be in Mojo's neighborhood. :lol:

BTW, I wouldn't take anything from Mojo as he may have rubbed it in his butt crack and then hand the candy out in neatly wrapped. :barf:
