1327791 2013-02-13 10:03:00 Back to kids with individual cakes and lit candles...

Now lets see, a dozen young, excited kids at a party. Presents and flammable wrapping paper srewn everywhere.

And they want to put a lit candle into every kids hands?

Kids that have never before ever handled fire?

Sure, this might mean they only get their own spittle onto their own cakes.

It may also result in kids, presents, homes getting burnt. Hair getting burnt, heads getting scarred. Happy birthday from the burn ward, sweetie.

Next will be the death of the candle, and we'll be embedding little electric candles into cakes... turn off your candle and eat your cake now, honey.

She had low potassium - this causes heart problems and can lead to a heart attack.

Stupid woman, and then they blame coke.....

1327793 2013-02-13 20:20:00 That all said, I don't see any evidence that Coca Cola is actually good for you...

As for me, I don't drink the stuff at all.

I read about the birthday cup cake scenario. It seems that no longer does Mother know best, just a teacher, with possibly a dozen different hang-ups of their own.

When my grandson in Australia turned 9 at the end of January his mother took up a box of ice blocks for his class. They were enjoyed by all and there were no complaints.

1327796 2013-02-13 21:00:00 I have no comment on the coke thing. Filthy stuff.

The birthday cake - the only thing I wondered about was the potential for unvaccinated kids to possibly spread things, but most daycare centres in Aus won't take kids that haven't been vaccinated. So ... bit of a headscratcher. Seems it's been in the guidelines since 2006, and nobody thought to kick up a fuss until last week?

Maybe not though, drink enough of it and you may become somewhat addicted, it does contain Caffeine at the very least...
