No, candy canes - they are bad for the teeth.
Brush and floss after every meal! And get your tetanus booster before you pick up Santa Claws!
But seriesly, if you find certain literature or films disedifying, that's your privilege. Nobody's life is going to be ruined by missing a particular book or movie. There's more out there than anyone can ever get through.
Candy canes are actually a Christian treat.
The hook shape is supposed to look like a Shephard's crok, the peppermint represents cleansing, and the red stripes are supposed to represent the wounds from Christ's Scourging.
Candy canes were first made to help children remember their Bible lessons.
