As a sign that the economy has spun completely out of control, parents have started substituting rock candy for popsicles. “The rock candy lasts so much longer” said Mary Berry of Rockford, N.J. “I used to go through a box of popsicles a week but now I give her one piece of rock candy and it lasts a month. That’s a savings of almost ten dollars!” Economists say that recent events have caused parents to take a hard look at ways to save money. One parent was seen giving their child a mud pie instead of a real birthday cake. What is next? Needless to say if this trend continues, this summer will not be as refreshing as our children had hoped!!
