Am I over reacting?

Absolutely not.

And no, I wouldn't let my children wear them either. I think it's inappropriate and tasteless on an adult's shirt also, for that matter.
 
Yes,it's inappropriate.
 
I agree -- it's inappropriate. I sure wouldn't buy it for my daughter!

Good for you -- writing those letters!

Not at all. It's unfortunate that so many of the little girls, and juniors, have such slutty sayings on them. At least my 12 & 14 yo girls know I won't buy them.
 
I don't even have kids, but if I did, no way would they be wearing tops with suggestive messages on them. What the heck?? They're supposed to be kids! Very disturbing how some things are nowadays.
 
Not size 7, that's for sure. And no, I wouldn't be paying for it, that's for sure too.

I don't have kids but am constantly amazed by some of the items of clothing I see small children in. They certainly seem inappropriate to me.
There was a situation fairly recently in the UK where a major department store withdrew g-string underwear for pre-teens after complaints. What sort of moronic buyer thought they were suitable in the first place?

ITA. It's bad enough for teens but little girls?:eek: Why not a slogan for Macy's and Hershey's "Pedophiles love's Reese's and Macy's is their favorite place to shop for little girls." It's bad enough it is hard to find modest attire in the juniors department. I swear they think teens are ready to go clubbing.
 
what a ridiculous piece of clothing for little girls...such an inappropriate message.

Unfortunately my answer is yes and no. Working at JCPenney, we too also sell these items for girls, boys, y.men, and the junior crowd. It's what your reading into it. The shirts range from cerals, sodas, candy bars, etc. labels.
If I had a young girl I too would pass from that one shirt, but it's not intended for what we are reading into it, it's just the Reeces label.
 
At JCPenney we also sell a large supply of "Beer & Liquor" brand shirts.
When they first hit the stores we were to set them in the young men's department. The legal drinking age in Fl. is 21, the young men's dept. is for the teens. With all the complaints to the corporate office from parents, they are now not to be found anywhere near the y.men's dept. Yet they still come in with the subdivision of young men's shirts!
Do people in the Corporate Offices lack "Brains"? My answer to that is YES!:D

Yes... I think you're over reacting. I just look at it as a "Reese's" tee.

I never liked when my better half wore a "Big Johnson" t-shirt, when she was a young 20 something hottie :D ... but that was clearly different type of message on the shirt... but that was her choice to wear it. "liquor up front, poker in the rear"... may be funny to some but I rather see that shirt on someone else's lady! :eek:

Would the shirt be "offensive" if it had just had "peanut butter cups" instead of "2....." ? Of all the things to write Macy's about... that tank top would not be on MY list. I'm more concerned with the high prices they charge!

BTW, being a teacher, I'm sure you see the clothes parents allow their kids to wear or the way they allow them to speak. That's who your "open letter" should be addressed to... PARENTS!

The "juicy", "bootylicious", "playboy" symbol and "porn star" are not on children. But I don't blame the maker or the seller of these pieces of clothing. JMHO.

I'd say you're over-reacting. Now if the t-shirt had two big "peanut butter cups" right smack on the chest I might think differently, but otherwise I see it as just an ad for Reese's.;)

Initially, I would agree since it's a replica of the candy wrapper. I was shopping for my daughter a couple of weeks ago (she's 12 and wears junior sizes now) and saw that shirt but didn't even catch the innuendo. However, now that it's been pointed out to me I'm glad I didn't buy it!

I will definitely shop for her with much more care in the future :eek: .
 
Recently, while shopping in the boys size 8-16 area with my 7 year old son, I picked up a shirt from a major athletic brand that said "good effort" in the front. I promptly put it back when he pointed out the back of it said, "...but you still stink." Might be funny to some, but goes completely against everything I've been trying to teach him about good sportmanship, friendships, etc... :annoyed:
 
Hmmmm, how about the t-shirt my mom brought me back from Hawaii (years and years ago). She like the pretty plant on the front. It said "Maui Wowie". I never wore it. :D
 
There have been orange Reese's shirts since the '80s. I've never seen one with the digit "2" before, though. Just Google "Reese's shirt" -- apparently people collect stuff like this. Of course, I use my closet space to hold timeshare brochures.
 
I think that the shirts were printed honestly (corporate AMERICA !!), and that you are overreacting. I live a little over 1 hour away from Hershey and for me I wouldn't have given it a second thought. I have 3 daughters and am more mystified by some of the "sayings" that other girls where on their shorts. My daughters know to not even to ask for any clothing like that !!!
 
I can't believe some of the shirts I see. Recently,

IT'S HOTTER DOWN SOUTH

with an arrow pointing downward.
 
We wouldn't buy it and our daughter wouldn't wear it.

A shirt with sexual inuendos on a young girl is not appropriate...period.

This reminds me of an incident that happened yrs ago. My nephew, who is now 45 yrs old, was down at the shore for a week with his family. His mother (my sister) was on the boardwalk and saw this wonderful sale on T shirts. She bought 6 t shirts with what she thought were hockey pucks on them for my nephew, who was a young teen. Turns out the hockey pucks were quaaludes. Boy was her face RED when she found out!:eek: :eek: :eek:
 
Hadn’t heard of that part of the anatomy referred to as a peanut butter cup before:confused:
All of those missed opportunities:( I thought that she meant the little chocolate things with peanut butter in them;) Agree that it’s just a shirt:ignore: So, should they have used the Halloween version that only has one cup? Guess that would only work for girls and not for boys?
 
I am constantly complaining in my local stores about the trashy clothes for young girls, but unfortunately I don't see it changing as the stuff is sadly selling. My 13 year-old is tall, but has a very petite build, so thankfully she can still wear some things in the 7-16 department where we can find some cute things that don't look like hooker-wear. This particular shirt didn't register at all when I saw it in the store, but I guess now that you point out the inuendo I don't think I'd buy it.
