Darwins Law -let them get on with it lol!

[mushroom25]

just another example in a long of examples, of how far the hard of thinking will go to get a few likes on (insert name of your favourite social meeeja platform here)

[Ken4155]

As the BTHA suggests, these things ought to either be classified as toys - and be subject to all the safety requirements that comes with - or they should be banned altogether. Much easier than banning stoopid people from having kids.

How about addressing the issue raised rather than the OPer mushroom?
APG, unfortunately it's the children that pay the price, not the stupid parents otherwise I would agree with you;-))

[pastafreak]

It's certainly not a laughing matter, as the possible effects of swallowing these things is horrendous.

[emmie]

incredibly dangerous, if they get stuck in the child's throat, then A&E here we come.

Hoola hips ? presumably young girls cd waggle their bottoms indefinitely whilst hoola hoopiing

[Peter Pedant]

[royfromaus]

Never underestimate the stupidity of the stupid.

Zenith?

[ToraToraTora]

yes jourdain, It's not a double glazing firm it's English, sorry if you are struggling. It means the highest point, i.e. I thought that stupidity had reached it's highest level of stupidity, hence "zenith". Now if I'd thought that they were very un stupid I'd have used the word "nadir" , geddit?

[tomus42]

This is not the zenith of stupidity. It's the apotheosis, which is very similar. The zenith is getting a real one done and it was reached a while ago.

[Atheist]

Anyone seeing the word neodymium should run a mile. small neodymium magnets can crush fingers. They are not toys.

[jourdain2]

Yes, TTT, I know what zenith means. I just thought that given the subject matter 'nadir' would have been more appropriate. How can you have a peak of a depth? Still wondering, but never mind.
