I am totally stealing this idea for my office.

Sounds awesome to me
UnknownCanadian
Why? I would hug you and steal the bowl.

She took a handful and ate a bunch... Annd that's when the fight started...
UnknownCanadian
Well that's her own fault for not knowing how to eat slow.

Skittles and M&Ms is fine, Reese's Pieces is too much of an allergy hazard and could send someone to the ER.

Also interesting fact, the coating on M&M's is a peanut based, I'm unsure as to skittles coating but there you go.

Considering that you can literally be allergic to anything, EVERYTHING is a major allergy hazard. I'm allergic to hypoallergenic soap....

Considering I'm allergic to oranges, (and who the hell's ever heard of an orange allergy?) believe me I know, but still, peanuts is such 1/

and I have a really bad reaction to hypoallergenic earrings.
Ihavesomethingtosay
a common one, and one that commonly has very severe reactions. Of course we can't protect against every allergy, but still.

True but each of these candies has distinct markings, if you're dumb enough to not check KNOWING that one could be peanut butter based 1/2
PlesiosaurWithElementsOfAnIdeaOfTheLochNessMonsterBoy
especially considering that M&M's have PB flavors that look like normal M&Ms both are made around peanuts anyway well it's on you.

I just don't like cross-contamination. Allergies can be serious things, why make matters worse/more difficult for those that have them?
PlesiosaurWithElementsOfAnIdeaOfTheLochNessMonsterBoy
Because I believe in passive eugenics, if you aren't smart enough to keep yourself in the gene pool then it thanks you for removing yourself

As someone with a nut allergy, THIS. I almost had to go to the hospital on new years eve because someone decided to add nuts to chips.

I come from a family of allergies, I have been trained since a young age to always check ingredients and frown upon cross contamination.

My wife is phenominal at checking stuff around me. Saved me a few times. Dangerous when people add nuts to stuff willy nilly. No label then.

It's even worse when you're allergic to something uncommon, even when I tell people, they never seem to take it seriously.
