I go crazy every time I go to my pediatrician's office and see those little 
"breastmilk storage" bottles (white lids with teddy bear and "similac") 
filled with holiday-appropriate treats (reeses pieces at halloween, red 
cinnamon spicy hearts for valentines day, pastel chocolate "egg" candies at 
easter) all over the counters and nurses' workstations, with friendly little 
labels and catchy wording reminding the nurses and doctors to recommend that 
product or why it's "better" or "new and improved." I should pass this 
little tidbit on about how they are being sold and serviced with candy. ugh.
