Weekend Onesie: 

Think Of The Children! 

Part II

The health and well-being of children has long been one of the hallmarks of a truly civilized society. 

And Madison Avenue has consistently been right there on the forefront, promoting the latest technological wonders to help ensure happy and healthy youngsters.

Another glorious weekend is upon us.

Take advantage of it.

Find time to 'do you'!

(Note: A lot of 'toothaches' among adults in the late 1970's and 1980's - especially among those Wall Street types.)

(And speaking of habit-forming. Fruit-flavored, that's like fruit, right?)

(Umm... that's not muscle, dear.) 

"Dextrose use can lead to dangerously high blood sugar or fluid buildup in the body, which may cause swelling and fluid in the lungs. People with the following conditions should avoid dextrose: high blood sugar. swelling in arms, legs, or feet."

(All vomiting, tremors, shakiness, and seizures aside.)

(Oh, what the hell. Let them eat paint chips.)
