Mom Wonders Why Toddler Didn't Want Chocolate Bunny—Then She Takes a Bite

A mom helping her daughter go through a basket of goodies she got for Easter decided to take a bite of a chocolate bunny—only to realize it was actually soap.
The mom, who did not give her name, explained in a viral post on Reddit's r/Wellthatsucks, that her daughter got what appeared to be a chocolate bunny rabbit in an Easter basket.
"I was confused about why she didn't want it so I took a bite. It's soap," she wrote.
She also posted a photograph of the bunny in question, which looks very much as though it is made from chocolate—and has a chunk missing from one of its ears.
The woman told Newsweek that it was "an honest mistake by all," but said "the makers of brown soap in the exact shape, scent and color of a chocolate Easter bunny for children need to do some rethinking on this type of product." Soap is classed a "minimally toxic," according to the Illinois Poison Center.
The mom only realized the bunny was chocolate-scented soap after she took a bite.

A spokesperson for Two's Company, who made the product, told Newsweek: "Our Two's Company chocolate-scented bunny soap is designed to be whimsical and giftable, and we can see how it could be mistaken for the real thing, especially during Easter. We're very grateful the child is perfectly fine and that the mom shared her experience with humor and grace.
"We're always working to make our packaging as clear as possible, and feedback like this helps us do even better. In light of the post, we will reach out to the family to offer a small gift — and maybe something a little more edible this time!"
The woman, who posts to Reddit under the username u/hellogoawaynow, racked up more than 84,000 upvotes on her photo, shared earlier this month, as baffled commenters agreed it looked exactly like an edible treat.
She later shared a comment explaining the soap was chocolate-scented, and while the packaging did say soap in large letters, she didn't notice while she was unwrapping it—only after she "frantically searched for [the packaging] as I was trying to figure out what in God's name I had just eaten."
The mom explained the basket was given to her daughter by her grandmother, who has cataracts and dementia, while with her caregiver, but added she's sure "there were no ill intentions here."
"Idk [I don't know] if grandma and caregiver knew they were giving the toddler soap or if they also thought it was chocolate. I appear to be the only one who for sure thought it was chocolate," she wrote.
The mom didn't notice the wording on the packet in the excitement.

She called it an "honest mistake by all—except the toddler, she knew immediately that it was not chocolate. She smart, I dumb."
And as for whether she would be using the soap bunny as intended, she told commenters: "It went directly into the trash after I took this picture."
Reddit users commented on the posts in their thousands, with one writing: "That's just straight up malicious if it wasn't labeled as soap."
"Soap should also never be brown," another wrote. "I bought AXE Dark Temptation once, and having brown water going down the drain didn't make me feel very clean. It did smell delicious though."
Another shared a similar story, recalling: "I was just telling a story earlier about my nan and one year she bought us all chocolate but it wound up being soap. She was mortified."

Denzel Washington on Cancel Culture: ‘I Follow God, I Don't Follow Man'
While promoting his new film, 'Highest 2 Lowest,' the Oscar-winning actor said faith matters more to him than public approval. Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington is taking aim at cancel culture, reaffirming his opinions are formed only through faith and his relationship with God. In a recent interview with Complex News, the 70-year-old questioned why losing public support in terms of cancel culture would matter to anyone, before dismissing the notion completely.

Older People Reveal "Forgotten Things" From The '70s
Maybe it's a mid-life crisis, or maybe it's just adulting, but I've recently become obsessed with reading about what life was like in decades past. And what better way to do that than by learning from people who were actually there for all the chaos that unfolded in recent history? Why not let them tell us some details we probably aren't aware of? And this time, we're gonna focus on the '70s — because, yes, that was 50 years ago now. Older people on Reddit have recently been answering the question: "What part of the 1970s do people like to forget about?" Without further ado, here are some of the top responses... "The sexual freedom that followed Roe v. Wade. So many people were screwing so many others. The porn film Deep Throat was a top-10 movie the year it was released. Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was released in late 1969, but its impact led to the '70s." "Pollution. In LA, you never saw the 10,000 ft mountains right next to the city because the smog was so thick." "Rampant, over-the-top sexism, even in a supposedly liberal community. I was a young woman then. It was bad, really bad. As a newlywed, I had gotten a good job, and the boss immediately told me if I didn't put out 'like the rest of them' I would lose it. I walked out of the office and told my husband when I got home. He met that guy in the parking lot after work — and I went to work the following day and he left me alone. Not because he wanted to, but because he knew his ass was grass if he bothered me. Women without the support of a man were out of luck and abused daily. It was so bad." "So much drunk driving." "The inflation was insane. Remember Nixon's attempt to freeze it? It should have been greeted with cheers, but it was a complete public relations failure." "Smoking everywhere. Subways, zoos, movie theaters, elementary schools, etc." "Carpets in the bathroom and kitchen. This was quite common in my neighborhood, so I'm guessing others have hate for this too." "Getting camera film developed." "The steps made to begin cleaning up the environment. It's not something we 'like' to forget about, but many people don't remember or realize the progress made to clean up our environment. The expectation of taking care of our planet has become commonplace; it didn't used to be like that. There is still a lot of work to do, but we've come a long way in 50 years. "White men with curly perms wearing one-piece leisure suits." "All the bombings. In the early '70s there were 2,500 bombings on US soil, nearly five a day." "Fear of getting swallowed up by quicksand." "The people who thought that seat belts and airbags were depriving them of liberty." "Many young girls went missing over those years. We were so naive about the presence of evil." "I remember no AC in the hot, humid days, the teachers would turn off the lights to make it cooler." "The backlash of society against the vibes of hippie culture." "In Canada, women were not allowed to get credit (card/loans) without a male co-signing. In France, kindergarteners were still given a glass of wine. Oh, and they were still guillotining people." "I was 14 years old in 1978. My guidance counsellor reviewed my course selections for the next year of high school and one of my choices was chemistry. He looked at me and said, 'Now, why would a young lady need don't we change that to secretarial skills instead?' And me, being a kid not knowing any better, I said 'OK' and he enrolled me to learn how to type and do shorthand/dictation like a good little girl. That's what I don't miss about the 1970s: being told as a young lady that I have limited things that I should be preparing for and doing in my life." "I was a kid in the '70s, and I remember everything stank. The cars on the road, indoors (tobacco smoke), trash piled up by the the streams and rivers were foul." "The rise of recreational use of pills. Reds, yellows, rainbows, Quaaludes, white crosses, and the rise of methamphetamine." "People like to forget about at least 50% of the pop music from the '70s, because it was awful." "The lack of wildlife. It was rare to see deer, and unheard of to see eagles in their habitat in the midwest. They made a comeback in the '80s and are common now, even though the human population has grown." "In the '70s I was 8–18. As a kid, I remember the nightly news and all the stories about Vietnam, and seeing news reporters with the soldiers out in the field. They were showing dead people on the news and people getting shot on the news. It was the first war that was shown every night on the nightly news. Which helped fuel a lot of the anti-war protests. It was a big relief to me when the war ended before I turned 18." "The general 'malaise' (what we'd call the 'vibe' today), especially toward the end. The economy, the oil shortages, the general sense that America was a mess, a longing for the 'good old days' of the 1950s." "How long it took to cook! When I was a kid, I had to wait for 45 fucking minutes for a turkey pot pie to cook, from the freezer, in the oven. Now, with microwaves and toaster ovens, cooking is so much faster." "Getting shit TV reception and having to constantly adjust the aerial. Only having like four channels: ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS." "People forget that raising 'free range' kids, '70s–80s-style, really did entail putting children into danger that they probably should not have been put into. There was a gap between moms in the neighborhood being home and a sense of neighborhood/community of the '50s–'60s, and kids were being dumped into a world they were unprepared for without any oversight or protection. By the age of 7, I was coming home alone to an unlocked house in an area full of transient weirdos living in rented duplexes — no one knew you, no one cared, and creeps abounded; I didn't even know my parents' work numbers. I was left alone at night with infants in my care by the time I was 11. It was terrifying. My parents only cared about their own lives and their own good times — and they were respectable professionals! Can't even imagine what people whose parents were actually scumbags were experiencing." Now that we've covered the '70s, let's talk about the '80s! People who were there, what's one thing nobody talks about anymore that was rampant 40 years ago?
