Raw Video | Images
The bottles were given to children as part of a promotion inside the Albertsons in Fallbrook, Calif., which is near San Diego.
A display in the store featured a table with a bowl full of prescription bottles. The bottles contained candies including Hershey Kisses. A sign on the table enticed kids to take the candy bottles and then go visit the Savon Pharmacy inside Albertsons. The kids could play a "fish game" at the pharmacy.
"It was shocking, it was one of those moments where you had to be there to see it," Michelle Krieger told NBC affiliate KNSD.
"We teach our children from the age they are born that prescription medicine is not candy," Krieger said. "It's like handing your child a pair of scissors and telling them to run."
Parent Katie Armstrong was also upset by the display.
"Adults, we can read labels. That there is candy in this and medication in this -- we can see that. But to a 3-year-old, this looks exactly the same," she said.
An Albertsons spokeswoman called the display a lapse in judgment.
"It was a one-time mistake made by a vendor of ours. It was not intended to hurt anyone. We took care of it immediately when we realized the mistake," said spokeswoman Stephanie Martin.

Ha! I used to work for Albertsons too. It sounds like something they would do. They've done some questionable things before.

Oh no, teh children, teh children... don't hurt teh children!

Actually, it is the opposite... we teach our children from the age they are born to use legal drugs like candy for pretty much anything and everything.

That is a bad idea. No doubt about that.

Ah, the hidden curriculum. Why do people get so pissed when someone exposes it so overtly?

A bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?
Putting candy in prescription bottles is an incredibly stupid idea, no matter how ubiquitous prescription drug use is.

Actually I agree with him, he isn't trying to justify the stupid display. He's just pointing out how ironic it is that the same people that feed there kids ADD meds and other shit like it's candy, are getting pissed about the display.The people that got "outraged" are hypocrites. Everyones shit stinks not just Albertsons.

Putting amphetamines in prescription bottles and giving them to kids is much, much worse than candy in those bottles, wouldn't you say?
Those parents are outraged over candy in prescription bottles but speed is ok because the kid acts like a kid and that needs to be treated like a disease.
The problem of over-reliance on prescription drugs in America has nothing to do with this thread. And no, I don't think there are many things worse than a child swallowing a whole bottle of pills because somebody taught them it was a candy bottle. The store's promotion was idiotic; hopefully no child finds himself in the position to make that mistake.
Seuss' reference to America's prescription drug culture was cute, but irrelevant.
And who says it's those same parents who are outraged? You are painting the entire populace with the same cynical brush. Not everybody conforms to popular stereotypes. Am I to assume every American is an obese, dim-witted Bush supporter on viagra?

No, the person that decided to put candy in pill bottles was an epic troll. I wasn't even replying to you, you are obviously not a troll.
