Exactly Alan! Look at all the current class-action suits for Roundup and Johnson & Johnson baby powder. "If you were ever exposed to either one of these substances in your entire life, and had any kind of medical condition in the next 100 years, you may be entitled(I won't get started on some people's entitlement views) to a bunch of money you don't deserve at all." If there is legitimate, illegal, intentional wrong-doing by any company, then they are liable for it in my book. But frivolous law suits plague this country like crazy!

It's one thing if somebody willingly partakes. It's another altogether to feed it to somebody who doesn't know what they are eating. That's one of the arguments against THC "edibles."
Dont tell me your also sick of Reese's peanut cups to...........remember all those you had.
Well, actually... I haven't had one of those in years, either. I allow myself one candy bar a month, so I want something good like a Midnite Milky Way.
I am allergic to all things peanut. Even things fried in peanut oil.. It isn't all bad, you just have to be careful and sniff anything offered to you. Especially cookies and baked goods. So many people don't understand peanut allergy and continue to offer peanut "things" with abandon. Seemingly unaware that to part of the population they are offering pure poison. Think about that a bit. Say you were immune to a particular poison, but continued putting it in food and offering it in social settings to others knowing full well you would be poisoning them to the extent they might just have a reaction and die right in front of you. It is just a matter of the percentage of the population that can consume this poison. The percentage of the population that can consume the poison and have a reaction is small. And the percentage that will die right in front of you is smaller still. But it is a percentage.
Fortunately most of us can detect the peanut in the product before we stick it in our mouth. About 6 months ago I consumed a cookie offered and being distracted I did not notice it at first. I noticed it in about a minute. But I discontinued consuming, and washed my my mouth and throat out and suffered for about 2 hours. But did not die.I didn't consume enough to puke either, which is what I usually do. BUT thoughtless people still make peanut butter cookies and offer them to people they do not know.
If you were to ask me, you should never make another peanut butter cookie or other bake good that hides the peanut product in other tasty things like the chocolate cookie I was offered and offer them in public. There are just too many people in this world that are poisoned by this product.
I wish I didn't have this allergy, and I am sure millions more wish the same thing.
Oh, i find people in the same room eating pungent peanut butter and raw peanuts in the same room offensive, And while my "detector" is highly tuned, I won't really have a major reaction to the poison, it just irks me. And why some people think that hiding peanut butter in a primarily chocolate cookie is good, I will never know. But some think peanut is good in everything.
I'll remember that the next time you stop in..... I just had a PBMJ the other night and everytime I make one I think of all the people that cant enjoy that or anything peanut butter. But things could be worse my 3 year old granddaughter is really on a strict diet, imagine no ice cream, pizza, pasta, milk...... all because trying to get her arthritis under control, but she can have peanut butter and most fruit.

Only if you're named Dracula.
They used to be called Milky Way Dark, but apparently that isn't PC.
I wonder if utility poles cause cancer in California..... 8 years ago someone dropped off 2 cord of some old telephone poles to have sawed into shingles, my son had to go buy a respirator and says he wont saw them again.
"The majority of wooden utility poles are made from Southern Yellow Pine which has been pressure treated with Chromated Copper Arsenate or CCA. This formula is made from chromium, copper and arsenic."
