Candy is the new killer! It was tragic news that a Yonkers little girl died Tuesday after choking on a peppermint candy, but now it seems that another child died while choking on a peppermint ball. Ashley Johnson of Queens had been in front of a neighbor's yard when she choked on the peppermint ball, which the police described as "one of the large peppermint candy balls." Like Jocelys Santiago in the Bronx, EMT were able to clear Johnson's air passage but were unable to revive her. Yesterday, Santiago's mother, Coralys Cruz, begged other parents not to buy the peppemint candies for their children. The Post adds that "Pediatricians say that children under 5 should never be given candy or uncut grapes because they can easily lodge in their small mouths." Gothamist will this also to be a reminder not to eat and run at the same time.

you're really hot today jen. It's headlines like "dangerous mints" and "the power of cheese" that keep me coming back to this website.
popcorn is also really dangerous for young children. in case anyone has them.
Thank you for posting this. Got I hate the Post. What a lame (and frankly upsetting) headline.
CHOKED...Jesus, could those morons come up with something a little less upsetting? I mean,
emerging from the tunnels of subterranean New York
after sweating my hangover off on the f-ing R
train is trauma enough for one morning. (During which of course I had been lamenting 1) the execution of a man in the no longer Liberal north-east ((what are all this right wing f's talking about?)) and 2) Thinking of the horror of the 2 murdered girls in Il....Good God...what is wrong with us all?) So then as I emerge from the subway I am bludgeoned by the Post headline....gee thanks guys...what a sensitive bunch you are....
sheesh,
rjh
oh..duh..btw...smart-guy?..Jen is ALWAYS hot...

Those mints are MURDEROUS! I damn near died at age eight when I got a butterscotch candy stuck in my throat. I was just about to pass out when a final, frantic slap on the back sent it shooting across the kitchen. DAMN YOU, BRACH'S!!
