Weird Confectionery

Last time my wife was at the supermarket Thomas talked her into buying a bag of "Milk-Pops". We hadn't seen them before and he was drawn to the brightly coloured picture of a cartoon cow and a pail of milk on the bag. Here's the list of ingredients.

  INGREDIENTS: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Vanilha
  Artificial Flavors, Artificial Colors.

Notice anything conspicuously absent from that list?


Chocolate.

Why buy something without chocolate?

White stuff

I guess they left out milk in an effort to appeal to lactose-intolerant children. Oooh! That means my son could eat it!

Milk? That is what Vanilha, a milk extract which tastes like Vanilla, is for.
