Confectionery / Junk food displays at checkouts.

I let DS do whatever he likes with them. When he was littler, around 18 months old, he used to collect them and toddle around putting them in other people's baskets and trollies as they waited in line. Now he just rearranges them. He has never actually damaged or destroyed anything (he's far too well brought up ) but if he did start to destroy one I wouldn't stop him.

All the while I loudly exclaim:

"what a silly place to put those sorts of things" "right where little children can get to them" "right at their level" "isn't that just stupid"

People often try to explain to me that it's a trap, it's hilarious, I say "no, really, why would they want little children to eat rubbish like that, that's just terrible"

I've also told children, of other people, that were nagging their parents to buy them something "Oh they're not for sale, they're just a display, y'know like Christmas decorations, it's just to make this space a bit brighter and prettier, did you think they were for eating, hahaha, no darling, not for eating, YUCK!"
