For those of you who take your kids trick or treating, what do you do about the Nestle debacle? I don't even know where to start... but don't want to keep my kids from having fun on Halloween because of this :(
Suggestions?
Just don't buy it yourself. Anything your kids get is already paid for so... eh.

This. Once it's been purchased Nestles has thier money. No sense in denying your kids treats on principle. I was at a BBQ this weekend & the only water they had was Ozarka (owned by Nestles). I didn't wan't to drink it, but again, no sense in dehydrating myslef on principle. The money was spent so...
well, it's a good idea to give that candy away to somebody that you know consumes them or buys them on a regular basis. That is one or whatever less purchase for them and less money going to Nestle. I do the same with the formula cans that end up in my mail - freecycle it but only to those who are already using this particular kind.

Good idea. my daughter is only 2, and the baby will only be 2 1/2 months old at Halloween lol. I don't know for sure if we're even going this year, but if we do, we can certainly get rid of the Nestle stuff without a fit happening. Next year maybe not :S How do you get your kids to be okay with giving their candy away?
Our rule is to only eat the candy right after the event. Next day it's all going away - it's been like this since they were little.
Sometimes they do feel sad giving it away, but once they do they feel good about sharing.
I make slings, what's your superpower?
Nestle and hershey's?
