Shouldn’t it be spinach?

Of all the things to take from a baby, I would think candy would be one of the more difficult. Granted, this level of difficulty may still be considered ‘easy,’ but on the whole I think a child would be much more reluctant to give up a snickers than spinach.

Other things a baby wouldn’t be reluctant to give up:

1) Smoking
2) A mobster
3) Pool Calisthenics
4) The judging glares of mother

Other things a baby WOULD be reluctant to give up:

1) A pacifier.
2) It’s thumb-sucking.
3) Watching 24¹
4) A blanky.

This brings up another interesting question – there is a superhero, of sorts, based on spinach – Popeye. However, is there a superhero who is fueled by candy? One doesn’t immediately come to mind, and candy mascots don’t count. If there WAS a candy-fueled super hero, I’m guessing his powers would be the following:

1) Super-sticky fingers
2) Incredible speed (followed by prolonged power-naps)
3) Invincible teeth
