in Chit-Chat
for businesses to have candy dishes with free candy in them. This morning I went to the Law Office and had a Fun size Milky Way, Phone company and had a chewy christmas tree mint, Post office (and these are my new favorite) the peppermint Andes mints, they are white with crunched up peppermint. I swear it should be outlawed.

    ill tell you something that will turn you off.... (unless they are wrapped)

    since the statistic of people that washes their hands after using the bathroom is 1 in 6 .. think of what happens when everybody dip their hands in the candy dish ...

    ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :sick:

    Okay, They are all wrapped. I don't think I could eat something sitting on a counter if it wasn't. My boss however, keeps jelly beans on his desk, and everybody dips into that jar:noway:

    Okay most of these places are pretty low traffic bc it's such a small town, so I guess I never thought about the cooties.:huh:

    And it really doesn't matter if they are wrapped. They touch the outside with their urinal infested, booger touching, grimy fingers, then you touch the outside, unwrap, then touch the candy and put it in your mouth. I'm not a germaphobe but that was enough to keep me on the straight and narrow. :s

    If its a wrapped candy, the only thing the candy needs to touch is your mouth with the correct technique

    But that's the only reason why I even go to any kind of local business.
