If your kids are anything like mine going through the process of having them take their vitamins is probably much like being the guy at your local zoo who has to shove the thermometer in the Lion's ass to take his temperature.
The process can be dangerous and is filled with an unrelenting amount of squirming, fighting, scratching and screams. Yet, no matter how tough the job you come out of the experience wearing your lacerations and bruises like a badge of honor for a task well done. But, as the good parents we all are, I am sure we all know how important it is to make sure our kiddos take their vitamins no matter how viscious the stuggle may be.
On a recent trip to Whole Foods with our Nana, my mother decided it would be her mission to find suitable vitamins for her grandsons. What we later found out is that idea meant my boys and I would have to stand in the vitamin isle while some poor 16yr old girl rummaged through the vitamin selection catering to my mother's every desire as she happily abused Whole Foods 'sample anything you want' policy.
One bottle after the other my mother would check the label for its sugar content and then the poor clerk would put sample after sample in front of my boys only to have them make 'I just sucked on a lemon' faces again and again. My boys ate these small pellets that resembled horse feed. They also tried to swallow pills the size of river rocks, one of which wound up on the computer screen of the PC the young lady was using to check stock levels. The best event came when my 6yr old was handed a wafer resembling the large Alka Seltzer tablets. The instant my little guy popped that sucker in his mouth he immediately regurgitated it onto the floor.
 I am pretty sure when the sales clerk took her job at Whole Foods she was expecting to spend her days socializing with the 'hoity toity' East Bay, stay at home moms talking about wine and cheese. You can bet the last thing she ever expected was to be wiping green slobber off the screen of her monitor or cleaning up a pool of fizzing white puke off her floor. Nothing like a visit from this single dad's three boys to make a young girl to take a hard look at going back to college. Or, practice safe sex for that matter.
In the end it only took my boys less than 15mins to find the vitamins they would eat and it didn't take a taste test. Yummi Bears turned out to be the find of the day. Vitamins cloned after Gummi Bears, but smell like Centrum Silver. Allergen Free and Gluten Free these Yummi Bears have been a huge hit in the rDad household. If you haven't been able to find a vitamin your kids will not only digest without dry heaving, you need to get your hands on these Yummi Bears.
Manufactured by Hero Nutritionals Inc., all your kid needs to do is eat 3 of these bad boys each day and he or she is good to go.
