I Consider This a Dubious Use of Allowance, But It's Not My Allowance

So we were at the art supply store today buying felt to make more cat toys and portfolios to store the profusion of art that gets created in this house I-don't-know-how, and Nora decided to spend the dregs of her birthday money and three weeks of her allowance not on art supplies, but on one of these. When I commented that, given her past history, I was really expecting her to buy a little clay or some stickers, the cashier noted solemnly that at least she was going to lick Communism.

I am not really sure what to say about that except that I also saw this product today at the same store and seriously contemplated getting it for my husband. (They also make related bandages, mints, and wristbands, in case you're looking for a present for that hard-to-buy-for carnivore in your life.)
