Moon Dough
I saw a commercial recently for a children's toy called, "moon dough." Basically, it's play dough, but the new and improved version. It doesn't dry out and its just as safe. In fact, the ad's big selling point was that Moon Dough is "hypoallergenic, wheat free, gluten-free." Wow, gluten-free? Really? I guess in this day and age we need to think about kids putting their toys in their mouths, but to go a step further and boast about a toy catering to food allergies; I never thought I'd see the day. In a way its a big breakthrough, yet in another what has this world come to that we have to invent something like Moon Dough?

What's so crazy about that? When you have a little kid, everything goes into their mouth, one way or another. I the case of play doh, the issues goes far beyond the odd toddler who uses everything as a chew toy while mom's back is turned. The dough itself is a huge contamination hazard. A big play-doh session means their hands, surfaces, and every tool they use is smeared with gluten. In an ideal world, everything would be decontaminated thoroughly and promptly and no child would put their hands anywhere near their mouth during play time... but it isn't realistic.
