Is this about the whippets or the vapes or something else entirely?

Some batteries, particularly those little button/coin ones, are pretty big choking hazards and some are starting to have a bitter coating put on them so if a baby does get their hands on one and tries to eat it, they'll probably spit it back out.

This spoof is pretending that kids were eating batteries because they were so appetizing to begin with with frosting and sprinkles (which I guess may also echo candy flavors of vape juice and vodka for teens being a thing)
