Oh how I wish I could have been at one of the board meetings where a Children's Hospital and a pediatric dentistry clinic decided this was an important activity to get behind. Perhaps these arguments came up?
"Kids don't get enough candy these days, how can we help to get them more?"or
"What could be better than candy to promote our hospital and dental clinics?"or,
"Anyone else think Halloween's too short?"And unless there's something I'm missing, other than brand exposure for the hospital and the dental clinic, I can't figure out a tie-in. I mean this isn't even junk food fundraising, it's just a candy giveaway!
Honestly, The Onion's got nothing on these guys.
