Apparently pinatas are no longer being stuffed with colorful candies and small toys. It's the economy, stupid. People are resorting to other measures to save money at children's birthday parties. Parents around this great country are lowering themselves to the most grotesque standards imaginable.
The surprise when the pinata splits open is all but gone these days. Children watch sawdust fly out of the belly of the pinata and then race toward the small chocolate marbles that role along the ground. It doesn't take them long...kids are smart these days. The odor assaults their nostrils and the poor children realize that they have been duped by a pinata stuffed with doo balls. Their appetite is lost immediately.
The pinata tradition has been changed in a horrible way in this economy. People remain hopeful that pinatas will one day be again stuffed with all the treats that kids have grown to love. But for now children are learning the hard way. There's no easy buck, kids. When times are tough, the shit hits the pinatas too.
