Avast! Yer candy coins be Chinese POISON!
 

According to Snopes, those delicious chocolate coins that are wrapped in "gold" are actually deadly poison straight from China.

Have a nice day.

I did notice the gold coins in my local supermarket were from China. In Aussie we have them for xmas. They also had huge one dollar coins too, also from China. I wonder if they were checked before being distributed? Oh well, I wont be buying any just to be safe.

Loonies & toonies from China??? what next.

It appears it's not just the coins:
Cadbury Chocolate and the Chinese Poisoned Milk Scandal | Constant Chocolate

(btw, the Snopes link didn't work for me)

It's a good thing I only eat dark chocolate.

It's also good to know what to avoid in terms of giving things out. This is a bit distressing.

This tainted milk thing is pretty far-reaching. The power of markets and distribution amazes me. It's too bad this only tends to happen when things go wrong.

Those candy coins are about the nastiest tasting candy there is... they look cool though.

I like my coffee crisp.... oh that and toblerone.

Yay, U.S.A.! We're so-ooo vigilant and on top of these sorts of things. :rolleyes:
