I was at Walgreen's last night when I ran across this lovely item.
Of course I had to buy it.
I want to was sarcastic about the appropriateness of this item, about keeping Christ in Easter, about making guilt an important part of your children's lives . . . but words simply fail me.

It was on the news last night. Apparently it's a big seller in Mexico and Latin America, so they thought it would sell well here, and are surprised at the response. Don't these people do market research? There's a long tradition of sweets shaped in sacred shapes in Mexico, but here, the culture is largely influenced by the "idol"-hating Puritan tradition. *sigh*

Speaking of tacky Christian artifacts at Walgreens, has anyone else seen those "mood ring"-style crosses that apparently, when warmed by your body heat, wind up displaying the tortured body of Christ in neon green?

At least it's not actually got an image of Jesus ON the chocolate cross. I'm just imagining the challenge of, you know, the equivalent of biting the ears off the chocolate bunny first...would kids try to bite through...Oh never mind.
But what kind of message would this send if, for example, your folks cheaped out and bought the HOLLOW one???

And here I felt sacrilegious when I explained that on Easter Christ comes out of his tomb and if he sees his shadow it means we have six more weeks of heathenism before salvation.
