About SOUR PATCH KIDS

It was a sunny day. The Kids couldn’t decide if they wanted to play a prank or give someone a hug when it dawned on them that choices just aren’t fun. Capitalizing on this stroke of pure genius, they set out to cause mischief and shower sweetness everywhere they went.

Today’s gift-givers possess a darker knowledge about coal. Even jokes about coal, like Joel, feature widely known facts about its role in climate change. Despite that awareness, people continue to accept coal power and blithely give coal gifts. That makes coal the ultimate Anthropocene stocking stuffer: Without the advent of fossil-fuel infrastructure, people would never have used coal to punish children—and now humankind can’t seem to stop relying on it. Coal need not be kept as a symbol of individual naughtiness when it persists as a real cause of collective wickedness—a nonrenewable energy resource that continues to endanger the environment. Maybe as a gift, coal can serve a new purpose: as a reminder of that ongoing fact—an earnest, ecological memento mori instead of a chastisement or a joke.
