Pseudoty Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I thought this was a joke at first "leads to drug abuse".

exciter1 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I grew up on "Buttfiti", but "Kidfitti" is taking it too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they still have those or something similar. They might be available in the arts & crafts section rather than the kids area I guess. Anyway, they did not turn me into a graffiti or sidewalk artist or whatever the term used today is. However I can see a lot of problems being caused by putting the stuff into a spray can one of which is huffing. I'm sure you think that sounds dumb but look at all the nutballs who like taking a spray can filled with paint, empty it out into a brown paper bag, then put that up to their mouth, inhale, all in the hopes of gaining some allusive high that boggles my mind just thinking about it.I would have to agree having what is basically a graffiti pack for children is not a good thing especially in a city covered by it. True this "Kidffiti" just washes off with water, in this case I imagine the work is just getting left for the rain, which is a little better than regular graffiti that is more permanent and takes chemicals to get rid of. Still, I see potential for trouble down the road from kids spraying each other to decorating places they should not.With all that said, I do not quite see how Kidffiti would be a 'gateway toy' to the usage and sale of drugs aside from a child at a young impressionable age being in such areas where graffiti normally takes place.
