I love this list, but:

Please don't do this. Animals and birds can choke and die on candy. And even if they don't, the ingredients are often toxic to them.
- paulcole 5y agoI mean, yes technically this is true. Practically, the kids, the car, and the lifestyle are worse for the environment than hucking a handful of jolly ranchers out the window.
- notRobot 5y agoYou already have kids. You're already on the road trip. Maybe don't also do yet another thing to kill animals?
- paulcole 5y agoAgain, I don’t disagree. Don’t do it. But clutch your pearls about having kids, buying cars, and going on road trips. Not throwing Jolly Ranchers out the window is like making sure the stove is off when the house is already on fire.
- kirubakaran 5y agoYou could roll down the window, pretend to toss the candy, and put it in your pocket.

- djmips 5y agoTell the kids this as well? If they care about animals and birds they won't misbehave!
- pxeger1 4y agoA better option is to eat it yourself.
