    Haha, I wouldn't sweat it. Let this be a lesson to yourself and the other parents to teach the kids to eat the candy in moderation. We just threw away about half of the candy my son got for Halloween just because he's not that into candy and for that...I am thankful!

    Gah! Why didn't you call me?! I could have used it in the pinata!

    Should I have the kids do P90X or Insanity, to offset the calorie spike?
    .....but how will they log it?
    Cripes. I'm gonna have to go and get 9 HRMs now. This is getting pricey!
    Just put the HRM's right in the pinata and save on the money for the chocolate.
    Excellent idea!

    So we're going to do a pinata on Christmas Eve. I bought a five pound bag of assorted mini chocolate bars at Costco. There will be 9 children participating, so they will be getting about a half a pound of candy each. Well, the stronger, faster ones will get more than the slower, weaker ones. I'm feeling so GUILTY. Perhaps I should fill it with fruit, but it would get bruised and soggy and damaged. I hope the authorities don't find out about what a terrible ting I have done to the children. :sad: :sad: :sad:

    LMAO! In response to that other thread... nice!! :happy:

    The kids need variety in their diet. Just chocolate isn't good enough. They need items like skittles and licorice. Shame on you.

    ^^This. And starburst and airheads - lots of color is important.


    And Mike & Ikes... Wait, I'll be there if there are Mike & Ikes to be had! LOL :)

    My grandmother always thought that anything with fruit in it was good for you. So when I was at her house I at a lot of fruit candy, gummy oranges, apple rings, fruit roll ups and marichino cherries!

    Ooh when I look back on that I wonder why I look like I do now!

    9 kids, 1 stick.

    that's not FAIR!!

    then all the parents know which kid to bet on! 9 sticks! we have to even out our bloodsports.

    9 kids enter.. 1 kid leaves...

    What if I filled it with whole wheat pasta, or quinoa?

    Cooked quinoa. And only if you get it on video.

    I like this idea! :happy:

    You can even it out by also putting crack, pipes, and lighters in there to help them burn it off.

    After making the mistake of having a piñata for my son's 6 birthday, NEVER AGAIN.

    The blood lust in the eyes of 36 6 year olds when the first sweet appeared was truly terrifying, followed by all 36, wielding foam swords, attempting to stampede into an area about 3ft square to grab at any that fell. One poor boy got trampled under the others and had one of his front teeth knocked out. My husband had to grab it and run around the room shaking the sweets out over a wide area to avoid any further casualties.
