What a fantastic idea! Teach the kids that candy comes in medicine bottles! I wonder what mom has in the medicine cabinet? Let's try!
Prescription bottles filled with candy handed out at Ripley parade http://dailymail.com/News/200907080318
A pharmacy and a physician say they didn't intend to upset anyone when their group handed out prescription bottles filled with candy during Ripley's Fourth of July float contest.
The bottles were promotional items distributed as part of Ripley Pharmacy and Main Street Medical Center's entry in the contest. Their float also featured people dressed in pill costumes.
Several parents criticized the promotion as sending a bad message to children.
