Vernal Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My DD5 ate a bag in two days! I put the box I bought yesterday where she can't see it so there would be some for DH's lunch this week. Mean mommy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busymotherof4 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We had to hide ours. The 2 year old keeps grabbing them and leaving peels everywhere. She will eat 2 at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 OMGoodness! My 8 yr old can eat soooooo many in a sitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypatia. Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The ones we just got from Costco lasted for one snack, neither DH nor I got any. The 1.5 year old ate waaaaay too many. DH can change all the diapers tomorrow. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My brother ate too many once -- he barfed them all up in the bathroom sink. I have no idea how many he ate, but he apparently didn't chew them up very well (based on the contents of the sink). That was over 30 years ago. It obviously made an impact on me. I limit my kids' consumption. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I have to ration them.... or the 6# I bought would last like 1.5 days. Let's just say today is Wed, I bought 6# on Sun and I still have about 1# hidden away. I <3 that my grocery outlet carries them in in 2# bags for $1. Next Sun I think I should buy 4 or 5 bags. And we did plant a Clementine tree, but no fruit this year, maybe next??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happi duck Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 We love cuties too but I really don't remember ever liking them before. I remember coworkers raving about clementines so I tried one and was just meh. Now I love them and reuse the boxes for art supplies. I think maybe I'm just a slave to marketing!

Catwoman Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I don't know how many I can eat, but I might just be willing to take the challenge... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 So funny. So true. One time, a pregnant friend of mine went in for her OB check-up. The midwife noted that she was gaining pretty quickly (she had gestational diabetes, so this did matter.) friend said, "Well, I have eaten rather a lot of clementines..." The midwife said, "yeah...you might want to dial that back. It may be fruit, but you know, it has a lot of sugar." :D i always think about that when I start convincing myself that they are fruit, so it doesn't matter.

HS Mom in NC Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 As long as you don't puke them up it's not obscene. I strongly prefer cuties to clementines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El... Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Hopefully my Satsuma trees will start producing more soon. This year I only got 5. :( So until then, Cuties for me! Our new neighbor brought us about a dozen Satsuma clementines last week from his tree! So, so good! And what a nice guy to share the with us. I hope yours turn out well next year.

IfIOnly Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 A bag or box of cuties with candy canes attached makes a great holiday gift for the neighbors if you don't do the baking thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violamama Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 My 21 month-old demanded about 4 today, and we finally hid them. She ate cuties, olives, tomatoes and raisins for dinner. Should be an interesting day tomorrow... Cuties= crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 And you've all heard the story about the name, right? I'm not sure of all the details, but "Cuties" is a brand name for about 4 different varieties of mandarines and it was a small company that started marketing it as such. I'm not sure how it all went down, but they were sold to a large company, but they wanted to keep the name Cutie, not sell that. The big company took them to court, but the judge sided with the little guy. So the big company had to come up with another name, and now you've got Halos, too, which is not nearly as wonderful a name as Cuties. My uncle told us that last night. Which is why he only buys Cuties and not Halos. (He's a small farmer, too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamanthaCarter Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I totally loved their commercial last year (?). The little kid peeling one and talking about how he could do it himself. I haven't seen it yet this year. That's marketing done right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
