if anyone's ever been to a shopping mall (or any other public place where parents and their offspring may be found simultaneously), then you won't mind my assertion that "a LOT of parent-types are total morons when it comes to raising their kids". so ... how many of these "total morons" will understand that Dave's Insanity sauce ( found on sale $1.99 ... isn't quite the same as Tabasco hot sauce (regular priced at $2.49) ?? a mis-aimed splash of an extract-based sauce, into the airways of a youngster, could easily result in a breathing crisis.
