On a July afternoon in 2006, Patrick Hale microwaved a bag of popcorn for his two young children and sat down with them to watch television.

This is not a joke, it happend to me- sort of. The little pieces of kernal got trapped on the bakc of my tongue and caused of choaking sensation reaction. I was finally able to dislodge the particle. I though I was going to die. I don’t eat popcorn anymore because of it.

What the hell’s he doing giving a 23-month-old popcorn?!
This is a failure of parenting, not the fault of the manufacturers.
Every single day the MSM continues to mercilessly beat the dead horse that is personal responsibility.

All foods, except Jello, can choke you.
If any food is not Jello, it needs to have a "Not Jello" label so people know its not Jello.

Yes, it is a joke.
Because people don’t read labels.
It will solve nothing.
