Who banned the silver balls?

by Jenny

I was all ready to decorate my sugar cookies with silver balls and icing, when I decided to do a little research of those silver balls a.k.a. silver dragees. According to this SF Chronicle article, silver dragees were removed from stores in California in 2003. WHAT?!! This is a reason why people mock California. We should be able to eat foods or even decorations that aren’t good for us because we should be able to choose to eat what we wanna eat! Yeah, I have to get all ranty because I think this situation is just ridiculous.

So I now possess contraband…and Mark Pollock can just come right over and take them from me. Yeah, I dare you to drive down from Napa to collect my silver balls. Go get some of your own…
