What to talk about

Talk to your kids

Families can talk about how logos and brand names influence us. You'll probably be craving some Chunky Monkey a few clicks into a site that was supposedly about Halloween. How can the power of suggestion and familiar images influence your eating and buying habits? When is it appropriate to mix fun cartoons and games and not-so-good-for-you food? When is it not OK?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

The games aren't sock knockers, but the cartoon images are fun. Find a clever treat in the Flavor Graveyard, where all of B & J's discontinued flavors are artfully eulogized. The printable Halloween coloring pages (think cute ghouls holding ice cream cones) are appropriate for all ages. The history area is also worth a peek...or a boo.
