My Mom wouldn't let me have Nerds candy when I was a kid because it would get stuck in the carpet. I didn't know this though and thought anything my parents wouldn't let me do was sinful or wrong in some way. For the longest time I believed Nerds were immoral to eat and I always wondered what kind of bad parents my friends must have if they ate them.
