My kid thought Super Green Gummies were candy - now they won't eat regular sweets!

So I bought a bottle of Super Green Gummies for myself, thinking I'd hide them in the pantry. But my 6-year-old found them and thought they were gummy bears. I caught him eating a handful! Now he's asking for "those green candies" every day. He even refused his actual candy because it's "not as good". Anyone else had this happen? How do I keep them away from my stash?

LOL, that's hilarious but also a nightmare. My wife did the same with my protein gummies. Ended up getting a lockbox for my supplements. Also, those green gummies are packed with sugar? Maybe switch to a keto-friendly brand that doesn't taste like candy?

Ugh, that's why I only buy vegan gummies with no artificial sweeteners. But yeah, kids don't get the memo. I'd say just explain they're not candy, but good luck. Maybe put them in an opaque jar labeled "NOT CANDY" with a skull? (kidding... sorta)

LOL, I work night shifts and my husband did the exact same thing with my melatonin gummies. He ate a whole bunch and then slept for 16 hours. Now I keep them in my work bag. But honestly, I feel you - those things are dangerously tasty. Maybe try the chewable tablets instead? They're less candy-like.
